Gulfstream V
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about". Template:Infobox aircraft
The Gulfstream V (Model GV, pronounced "G-five") is a large, long-range business jet aircraft produced by Gulfstream Aerospace, derived from the previous Gulfstream IV. It has a maximum speed of Template:Cvt, flight ceiling of 51,000 feet (16,000 m), and a maximum range of Template:Cvt. It typically accommodates four crew and 14 passengers. It first flew on November 28, 1995, and entered service in June 1997.[1] It is used by the US military under the designation C-37A.[2] It was followed by an improved version, the Gulfstream 550 (Model GV-SP).
Development
In the early 1990s, the Gulfstream V (GV) was developed as a response to the Bombardier Global Express.[3] It was certified on April 11, 1997.[4] Capable of flying up to 6,500 nmi (12,000 km), it rolled out in 1995 and was Gulfstream's first ultra-long range business jet. Total production of the Gulfstream V was 193 aircraft.[5] By 2018, 1997-1999 Gulfstream GVs were trading at $8.8-10.25 million.[6] By 2019, a GV was worth around $10 million: below $6 million for high time aircraft, up to $13 million for a late model low-time aircraft.[3]
Design
The engines are now Rolls-Royce BR700-710A1-10 with increased thrust, a higher bypass ratio, and Full Authority Digital Engine Controls (FADEC). Operating ceiling increased from Template:Cvt. It has thrust reversers and composite flight control surfaces. The horizontal tail area is 30% larger, wingspan increased from Template:Cvt, and the fuselage is lengthened by 5 ft (1.5 m) forward of the main entry door, and by Template:Cvt aft of the wing. Maximum takeoff and landing weights are increased by 15%.[4]
It has a new semi supercritical wing with a fuel capacity of Template:Cvt which is Template:Cvt more than the G-IV. The three zone cabin is similar to the G-IV, but smaller than the Global Express, while its dispatch reliability, cabin noise and fuel efficiency compare favourably against its competitors of the same era. Compared to the comparably priced Global Express, the GV offers more range and is more fuel efficient while the Bombardier offers better runway performance, a larger cabin and a softer ride. The BR710 overhaul comes due at 8,000 hours or 10 years and costs $1.25 million per engine.[3]
Variants
- G-V
- Production aircraft powered by two BMW-Rolls-Royce 700-710A1-10 engines.

Operators
Civil operators
The majority of G-Vs are operated by corporate and individual owners. Mark Cuban paid $40 million for a Gulfstream V in October 1999, earning a Guinness Record of "largest single e-commerce transaction". Steve Jobs received a Gulfstream V as compensation from Apple in 2000.[8]

On March 11, 2005, Gulfstream delivered an ultra-long-range G-V to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The aircraft—known as the High-performance, Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research (HIAPER), based in Boulder, Colorado, is being used by environmental and atmospheric scientists from both public and private research facilities.[19] The GV was chosen by NCAR for its exceptionally high cruising altitude, long range, endurance, payload, reliability, and low operating costs, as well as worldwide product support.[20] The HIAPER Gulfstream V is modified to accept wing/pylon mounted instrumentation.
