The Gulfstream V or the Gulfstream G-V as it is also called is known as one of the most reliable business aircrafts during its time. Even today, the Gulfstream G-V in operation are still capable of giving newer jets a run for their money. It is one of the first ultra-long range jets which means it would be perfect for business or executives who are always on the go, crossing continental boundaries.
The Gulfstream V has plenty of cabin space with dimensions of 6 feet and 2 inches in height and 7 feet and 4 inches wide. The spacious cabin can hold up to 19 passengers. With a baggage compartment volume rated at 226 cubic feet, it provides plenty of space for luggage. Holding meetings aboard this spacious jet is also possible with its seats and executive desks strategically configured for such business occasions.
Powering this hulking jet is a pair of Rolls-Royce BR710A1-10 turbofan engines each of which can churn out as much as 14,750 pounds of force. With that much power, the G-V can reach speeds of Mach 0.885 and has a cruising speed of 488 knots or 904 kilometers per hour. The wings of this jet were built by Northrop Grumman and have been configured to be the perfect set of wings for high speed flight. The wings along with the streamlined fuselage allow the G-V to cut through the air effortlessly resulting in respectable fuel efficiency. With 191 of these produced, getting one today would be quite a challenge without the help of professional aircraft specialists.
