The Gulfstream G200 is a twin-engine business jet with intercontinental range.
history
It was developed by Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) as the successor to the Astra SP . The first flight took place on December 25, 1997. It was then launched under the name Galaxy by Galaxy Aerospace , based at Alliance Airport in Fort Worth . The first machine was delivered to TTI Incorporated in January 2000 . After the acquisition of Galaxy Aerospace by Gulfstream in June 2001, the aircraft was renamed the G200. Since 2005, Gulfstream has been working on the successor Gulfstream G280 (then still known as G250 ), which should have new avionics , new engines and aerodynamic improvements. In December 2011 the last G200 was delivered to a customer and production was discontinued in favor of the G280.
technology
The G200 has a cruciform tail, 18 windows, PW306A engines and (except for the first models) a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 glass cockpit . Compared to the G100, the machine was equipped with larger wings, Kruger flaps and winglets . Instead of the usual de-icing of the wings with engine bleed air, the G200 has inflatable rubber surfaces . The cabin has a length of 7.44 m, a width of 2.18 m and a height of 1.91 m. The luggage compartment has a volume of 3.5 m³.
