More about the Gulfstream G400

Gulfstream first used turbofan engines in 1967 with the aircraft remaining in production until 1980, when the Gulfstream III was the leading business jet. However, keen on improving noise level and fuel characteristics, the engineers at Gulfstream selected the Rolls-Royce turbofan for the GIV. Since the introduction of the GIV, several variants of the model have been developed, the latest of which is the Gulfstream G400. Amenities featured in the G400 include a full stand up cabin, a large galley, and a full sized lavatory equipped with a shower.

Production on the Gulfstream G400 started in 2003 and ended in 2004. 23 aircraft have been built so far.

Key Features of the Gulfstream G400

The cabin of the Gulfstream features multiple configuration arrangements. In an executive layout, the G400 is usually configured to seat ten to twelve passengers. In a higher density arrangement, this private business jet is capable of accommodating fourteen to nineteen passengers. The cabin of the Gulfstream G400 measures 45.2 feet in length, reaches 6.1 feet in height, and stretches a maximum of 7.3 feet in width with a floor width of 5.5 feet. This private business jet features 169 cubic feet of baggage storage capacity capable of accommodating 2,000 pounds of luggage. Eight windows surround the cabin, allowing a bright atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation or business. With a maximum cabin pressure differential of 9.5 psi, the G400 is capable of maintaining a sea level cabin altitude at an altitude of 25,800 feet.

Capabilities of the Gulfstream G400

The G400 comes equipped with two Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8 medium bypass, axial flow turbofan engines. Each engine is rated at 13,850 pounds of thrust at take off. The Gulfstream G400 requires only 5,450 feet of runway to take off at sea level on a standard day. At an airport with an altitude of 5,000 feet, this requirement increases to 8,320 feet of runway. With four passengers, the G400 needs only 2,670 feet of runway to land. The G400 features a maximum certificated service ceiling of 45,000 feet and is capable of climbing to an altitude of 37,000 feet in just seventeen minutes. The range of the G400 reaches 4,350 nautical miles, allowing for many destination options for your business venture. For a flight to a more distant destination, the G400 is capable of maintaining an airspeed of 459 knots at an altitude of 45,000 feet in a long range cruise configuration. If a swift trip is the focus of your flight, the G400 is capable of maintaining an airspeed of 476 knots at an altitude of 41,000 feet in a high speed cruise configuration.

The avionics suite selected for the G400 is the Honeywell SPZ-8000 integrated digital flight guidance system. Incorporated into this system is an Electronic Flight Information System (EFIS), utilizing six eight-inch by eight-inch displays. Systems also included in this avionics package are dual Collins radios, a FMS, and dual Honeywell laser inertial reference systems (IRSs). Additional instrumentation options include a triple laser inertial navigation system (INS), an air-to-ground telephone, and dual FMS.
