Gulfstream G100
Large jet
The Gulfstream G100 is a renowned midsize jet, engineered for exceptional long range and high speed (Mach 0.84 max). Its long, comfortable cabin and high ceiling (45,000 ft) deliver efficient transcontinental performance, connecting distant city pairs without compromise.
Performance Built on Israeli Heritage
Overview
The Gulfstream G100 is a highly capable midsize jet that excels in speed and range, entering the Gulfstream portfolio in 2001 after the company acquired the program. Its origin traces back to the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Astra SPX, a design renowned for its performance envelope. The G100 is engineered for long-range missions, boasting a maximum distance of nearly 3,000 nautical miles and a high cruise speed, allowing the jet to complete transcontinental routes that are beyond the reach of many smaller midsize competitors. Power is provided by two efficient Honeywell TFE731-40R turbofans (4,250 lbf), which are equipped with Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC) and aerodynamic winglets. The aircraft, which has been utilized by the U.S. Air Force as the C-38A Courier typically features the Collins Pro Line 4 glass cockpit. The G100 successfully pairs this large-cabin jet performance with midsize operating economics, making it a valuable tool for swift, long-distance executive travel.
Utility and Executive Ambiance
Luxury interior
The Gulfstream G100's interior is engineered for efficient transcontinental missions. Focused on passenger well-being, it features essential amenities, superior noise insulation, and flexible cargo space.
Long Executive Cabin
The 17,1-foot cabin length comfortably seats up to 8 passengers in executive club seating. This ample length allows for generous legroom and easy access to the forward galley and fully enclosed aft lavatory.
Smooth, High-Altitude Ride
The G100 is engineered for flight at 45,000 feet, soaring above commercial traffic and weather. This high-altitude operation, coupled with advanced noise insulation, ensures a quiet, stable, and less fatiguing journey.
Adaptable Cargo Capacity
The external baggage volume (up to 55 cu ft) is configurable, allowing optimization for either extended range (with extra fuel) or maximum luggage capacity, balancing utility against the mission profile.

Efficiency Meets Wellness
Key feature
The Gulfstream G100 is engineered for uncompromising transcontinental performance. These two features ensure the aircraft flies further, faster, and delivers a quiet, comfortable journey that significantly minimizes passenger fatigue.
Winglets and Digital Engine Control (DEEC)
Performance & Technical Excellence
The G100’s exceptional long-range capability is rooted in a commitment to aerodynamic and engine efficiency.2 The aircraft features performance-enhancing winglets, which reduce wingtip vortices and minimize lift-induced drag, providing a significant boost to fuel economy and range over long distances. This efficiency is paired with powerful Honeywell TFE731-40R turbofans that are equipped with Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC). DEEC is a sophisticated system that automatically optimizes engine performance and fuel flow for every phase of flight, ensuring precise power management and maximized range. This technical combination allows the G100 to complete nearly 3,000 nautical mile transcontinental missions with superior speed, competitive fuel burn, and reliable performance, maximizing the strategic utility of the aircraft for demanding routes and establishing its efficiency credentials in the midsize market.
Low Cabin Altitude and Serenity
Passenger Comfort & Experience
The G100 is designed to maximize passenger comfort and wellness over long distances. The cabin is engineered to maintain a very comfortable low cabin pressure, typically equivalent to only 6,000 feet when cruising at its maximum altitude of 45,000 feet. This reduced cabin altitude drastically minimizes the effects of air travel fatigue, ensuring passengers arrive at their destination feeling refreshed and productive. Contributing to this serenity are the advanced noise insulation materials used throughout the fuselage, which effectively dampen engine and aerodynamic sounds, creating a quiet executive environment.Finally, the signature large oval windows characteristic of Gulfstream design flood the cabin with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and providing unparalleled views throughout the transcontinental journey, delivering a truly premium flight experience.
