Gulfstream | November 24, 2010Gulfstream B150 Over view
Soon it was introduced the B150 became most preferred in the mid size market. My personal experience with the aircraft says that the Gulfstream G150 is something that provides value in its class. Though the pricing is a bit high when compared to other flyers, the Gulfstream G150 stands apart with having an ability to fly the farthest with fastest speed.
This Gulfstream Aircraft comes with Honeywell engine that is considerably trusted among industry clued people. The newly undated Gulfstream is with improved aerodynamics that keeps along only the amount of air it needs for flying. That makes the aircraft the fastest business aircraft.
Gulfstream Aircraft in their test from Tel Aviv to Geneva had honored with the fastest in city speed.
Being a business aircraft the Gulfstream G150 comes employed with sophisticated avionics. The Rockwell Collins Proline 21 is being improved by Gulfstream’s research team to get fully incorporated avionics system that adds to crew performance of the crew and flight safety.
The Gulfstream Aircraft is offered with three different seating styles, accommodating eight passengers. The aircraft is also said to be having leg room shoulder and head room like no other. The cabin is now longer, wider and oval shaped.

Gulfstream G200 Overview
Gulfstream G200 was introduced in 1999 having all the features to attract attention of business class travelers. The Gulfstream G200 competes in its segment on pricing, cabin space and range of flying. Like other aircraft from the Gulfstream Aircraft this one too features with Rockwell Collins ProLine 4 avionics. For immediate reading the avionics has a 7.25 inch displays.
Being a ground braking aircraft that serves to business aviation market the most important concern is the flights safety features. The Gulfstream G200, for safety employees a Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System, color weather radar and Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System.
To reduce pilot work load, with option, comes an auto throttle system.
The best cab feature I like is the cab sealing height. The 6.3 ft height is enough for tall travelers to stand and walk without a bow. Cabin with a length of 24 ft 5 has space to spare after stacking 10 passengers.
To keep the long flight fatigue minimal the Gulfstream G200 has a fresh air system employed where in the cabin is feed with fresh air on regular intervals. Also the oval shaped windows let lots of natural light, making the cab atmosphere lively.
Powered by a Pratt & Whitney engines, the aircraft is supported with serviceability across six continents.
