A New Era of Flight Control

The Gulfstream G500, which entered service in 2018, was a clean-sheet design that introduced the world to the Symmetry Flight Deck. It was developed to replace the G450, offering a wider cabin, significantly higher cruise speeds, and better fuel efficiency. The G500 was the first business jet to feature active control sidesticks, which electronically link the pilot and co-pilot's movements, a safety feature previously found only on advanced military aircraft.

Why the G500 Wins on Innovation

The "winning" reason to choose a G500 is the combination of speed and next-gen technology. It is designed to fly at Mach 0.90—nearly 700 mph—shaving significant time off transcontinental and international trips. Inside, the cabin features three distinct living areas and is flooded with light from 14 signature oval windows. For the operator, the Pratt & Whitney PW800 series engines provide a 15% increase in efficiency over previous generations, making it a high-performance jet that is as smart to run as it is fast to fly.

Performance and Precision

The Gulfstream G500 stands as a high-speed standout in the large-cabin market, blending a whisper-quiet interior with advanced fly-by-wire technology. It accommodates up to 19 passengers in a cabin that features the industry’s lowest cabin altitude and 100% fresh air. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW814GA engines, it cruises at Mach 0.90 with a range of 5,300 nautical miles. The Symmetry Flight Deck features 10 touchscreen displays and integrated head-up displays, providing pilots with the ultimate in situational awareness and safety.
