The Gulfstream V Program was launched in 1992 and fills the market requirements for extended-range business jets. Powered by BMW Rolls-Royce BR710-48 turbofan engines, the Gulfstream V contains state-of-the-art avionics and electrical systems from Honeywell and Sundstrand, respectively.
Vought Aircraft Company, then a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, was selected in June 1993, by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, as a revenue-sharing partner for its super long-range business jet, the Gulfstream V. Northrop Grumman designed and builds the wings for the new aircraft, which has a range of 6,500 nautical miles.
