At 7 feet 4 inches, the G450/G550 cabin is just two inches wider than the G280’s.A single air-cycle machine supplies the environmental control system, using bleed air from the engines or APU. The Gulfstream Cabin Experience provides a quiet, bright, fresh-air environment that sets the industry standard for comfort and productivity. Gulfstream G450 Cabin and Interior The Gulfstream G450 cabin can accommodate up to 19 passengers. Chief demo pilot Brett Rundle said he has climbed to FL430 in just 20 minutes at maximum weight.https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2018-02-09/pilot-report-gulfstream-g280A 14-cu-ft (0.4-cubic-meter) storage area is fitted next to the main door, just to the right after entering the cabin.
“They align well with the cabin interior,” and due to the large number of windows, add lots of natural lighting.
Other functions include PFD settings, weather radar, chart selection, HUD settings, checklists, nav sources, avionics configurations for each phase of flight, and more.In late 2016, Gulfstream unveiled new cabin configurations, with two layouts offering 10 seats available for takeoff and landing without having to use the lavatory seat. What shape does your ambition take?The new flagship has arrived. At this weight, according to the FMS, we would be able to climb directly to FL450.The SMCs have many other functions, including the ability to manage single-point refueling from the cockpit, instead of having to access the refuel/defuel panel mounted aft of the fueling port. Maximize every minute with up to five living areas.
When open, the G280 door sits on the ground for maximum stability, protected by a Teflon pad where it contacts the surface.The pressurization system delivers a more comfortable 7,000-foot cabin at maximum altitude.With a wide-chord damperless fan measuring 34.2 inches (86.9 cm) in diameter, the HTF7000 series has a 4.4 bypass ratio. According to the company, “Individual LRUs can be replaced on average in 20 minutes or less with no shimming, rigging, or adjusting, using standard hand tools with nothing more than an idle-power leak check.” The engine is fitted with 39 “strategically placed borescope ports for 360-degree visibility” when inspecting gas path components.I taxied to Runway 11 at Columbia, remembering what Rundle had warned me during the briefing: “This thing clearly has a lot of power,” he said, recalling a flight from Charlotte, North Carolina, where he was given an unrestricted climb at mid-weight and held V2 after liftoff, bursting through 10,000 feet by the time the G280 reached the end of the runway.Opposite the main door is the galley, which was recently redesigned.
Rundle explained that it’s better to use just the left thrust reverser to slow down while taxiing, to prevent exhaust smell from the right engine entering the cabin through the APU inlet.Our route of flight took us north to Spartanburg, South Carolina, then northwest past Asheville, North Carolina, where we turned back and flew over Augusta, Georgia. We briefed the flight, then Rundle and I walked around the G280 while he showed me some of its attributes.ATC wasn’t able to give us an unrestricted climb, and we ended up leveling off briefly four times, but still made it to FL450 in just over 19 minutes.

The acoustic design was accomplished by Gulfstream’s lead acoustician, who used to work for submarine-maker Electric Boat, a sister company of Gulfstream.
Beyond saving valuable time, fewer flight hours means longer periods between scheduled maintenance visits, higher potential aircraft value and fresher crews.The choice of true circadian lighting puts you one step ahead of jet lag by simulating the sunlight of your next time zone.The award-winning Symmetry Flight Deck features the safety of active control sidesticks.
