Gulfstream G550 Specifications
Performance
With a maximum range of approximately 6,750 nautical miles and a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.885, the G550 remains a serious intercontinental aircraft even after the end of production. It can connect routes such as New York to Dubai, London to Singapore, or Los Angeles to Tokyo with the speed, altitude capability, and reserve margins expected from a flagship Gulfstream.
Powerplant
The G550 is powered by two Rolls-Royce BR710-C4-11 turbofan engines, each producing 15,385 pounds of thrust. The BR710 family is known for long-range reliability, strong high-altitude performance, and mature global support, which helps explain why the G550 continues to be valued by high-utilization corporate and government flight departments.
Operating Weights
Operating weights dictate the structural limits and mission profile of the aircraft. With an MTOW of 91,000 lbs, the Gulfstream G550 offers a high payload-to-range ratio.
