Gulfstream V

File:NASA GulfstreamV in wind tunnel.jpg

In the early 1990s, the Gulfstream V (GV) was developed as a response to the Bombardier Global Express.

It was certified on April 11, 1997.{{cite web |url= http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/2d504046f9657ec386257f610074fcfb/$FILE/A12EA_Rev46.pdf |title= Type Certificate date Sheet NO.

Capable of flying up to {{convert|6,500|nmi|km|abbr=on}}, it rolled out in 1995 and was Gulfstream's first ultra-long range business jet. Total production of the Gulfstream V was 193 aircraft.{{cite press release |url= http://gulfstreamnews.com/news/gulfstream-v-fleet-achieves-one-million-flight-hours |title= Gulfstream V Fleet Achieves 1 Million Flight Hours |date= May 13, 2012 |publisher= gulfstream |access-date= June 22, 2016 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160810160338/http://gulfstreamnews.com/news/gulfstream-v-fleet-achieves-one-million-flight-hours |archive-date= August 10, 2016 |url-status= live }}

By 2018, 1997-1999 Gulfstream GVs were trading at $8.8-10.25 million.{{cite magazine |url= https://www.ainonline.com/sites/default/files/full-issues/ain_1218.pdf |title= For many models, market hitting the apex |magazine= Aviation International News |author= Mark Huber |date= December 2018 |pages= 20–21, 24 |access-date= 2018-12-27 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20181227181555/https://www.ainonline.com/sites/default/files/full-issues/ain_1218.pdf |archive-date= 2018-12-27 |url-status= dead }}

By 2019, a GV was worth around $10 million: below $6 million for a fixer to up to $13 million for a late model low-time aircraft.

Compared to the Gulfstream IV, the engines are changed from Rolls-Royce Tay to Rolls-Royce BR700-710A1-10 with increased thrust, higher bypass ratio, and Full Authority Digital Engine Controls (FADEC). Operating ceiling is increased from {{cvt|45,000|to|51,000|ft|m}}. It has thrust reversers and composite flight control surfaces. The horizontal tail area is 30% larger, wingspan is increased from {{convert|74.6|to|93.5|ft|m|abbr=on}}, the fuselage is lengthened by {{convert|5|ft|m|abbr=on}} forward of the main entry door, and by {{cvt|2|ft|m|1}} aft of the wing. Maximum takeoff and landing weights are increased by 15%.

It has a new semi supercritical wing for a fuel capacity of {{cvt|41,000|-|12,000|lb|t}} more than the G-IV.

The three zone cabin is similar to the G-IV, 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.

BR710 overhaul comes at 8,000 hour or 10 years if it comes earlier and costs $1.25 million per engine.{{cite news |url= https://aviationweek.com/business-aviation/gulfstream-v-tokyo-new-york-range-10-million |title= Gulfstream V: Tokyo To New York Range For $10 Million |date= Dec 24, 2018 |author= Fred George |work= Business & Commercial Aviation}}

Their tail numbers were 50049, 50050 and 60403.One of three aircraft long tasked with evacuating the president in an emergency and preserving the so-called National Command Authorities, the officials with authority to launch nuclear weapons. The C-20Cs had slightly older dial-and-gauge cockpits to help protect the plane from the electromagnetic pulse that would accompany a nearby nuclear explosion. The gear aboard is top-notch, with special satellite communications networks and special classified defensive measures that would protect the plane during an attack.{{Cite web|url=https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/05/02/the-presidents-secret-air-force-215091/|title=The President's Secret Air Force|website=Politico|date=2 May 2017 }}

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".

On March 11, 2005, Gulfstream delivered an ultra-long-range G-V to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
