OVERVIEW
The Gulfstream GIV-SP (GIV/GIV-SP) is a midsize cabin business jet known for its larger cabin, longer range, and advanced features compared to earlier Gulfstream models like the GII and GIII. It's a popular choice for intercontinental travel due to its range of 4,109 nautical miles. The "SP" in GIV-SP stands for "Special Performance" and indicates improvements in payload, landing weights, and range performance over the original GIV.
Key Features
Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8 Engines
These engines are more fuel-efficient and quieter than those used in earlier Gulfstream models.
Advanced Avionics
The Honeywell SPZ-8000 avionics suite provides multiple flight systems and a consolidated display for easier operation.
Increased Weight and Range
The GIV-SP has a higher gross takeoff weight, improved payload, and a longer range than the standard GIV.
Enhanced Dispatch Reliability
The GIV-SP uses a hydro-mechanical brake system instead of the GIV's brake-by-wire system, improving reliability.
Redesigned Wheels and Tires
Redesigned wheels and tires improve taxiing and runway performance.
Large Cabin
The GIV-SP offers a spacious and luxurious cabin with various interior configurations.
Long-Range Intercontinental Travel
The GIV-SP is well-suited for flights across continents, like those between New York and Tokyo or London and Singapore.
High Flight Ceiling
With a certified flight ceiling of 45,000 feet, the GIV-SP can bypass most air traffic and weather disruptions.
