About this aircraft
The Gulfstream I (GI) is the turboprop that started the Gulfstream story—a late-1950s executive transport that proved the market for purpose-built business aircraft.
With twin Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops and a pressurized cabin, it brought airline-style comfort to corporate flying decades before today's ultra-long-range jets. Surviving examples are historic rather than mainstream charter inventory.
It matters as the foundation of the Gulfstream brand: cabin-first design for business travelers, not a converted airliner.
