The GV-SP, also known as the Gulfstream 550, is an improved iteration of the foundational ultra-long-range Gulfstream V business jet. This aircraft is characterized by its superior range and performance capabilities.
The manufacturer, Gulfstream, has a history rooted in a 1958 first flight of the Gulfstream I. The company quickly established itself as a leading name in business aviation, particularly after the GII’s entry into service in 1968. The large-cabin GV, the predecessor to the GV-SP, was a significant milestone, debuting in 1997 as the first ultra-long-range business jet. The GV-SP followed this lineage, continuing the company’s tradition of producing high-performance, long-haul aircraft.
