G550 side.jpg

The G V was the world’s first ultra-long range business jet. It is capable of traveling non-stop for 6,500 nautical miles at speeds up to Mach 0.885. The cabin has been stretched five feet over that of the G IV to make room for a crew rest area (as required on long range flights).

The G550 is an advanced version of the GV capable of traveling non-stop for 6,750 nautical miles at speeds up to Mach 0.885. The G500 variant has fewer features and less range. Both the G500 and G550 have improved aerodynamics leading to reduced fuel burn compared to the G V.
