Gulfstream G500
The clean-sheet successor to the classic line — active sidesticks, fourteen vast windows, and a 3,255-foot cabin.
Asia-and-beyond missions at Mach 0.90 pace, in the new generation's freshest cabin.
The G500 opened Gulfstream's new generation: the Symmetry flight deck with active control sidesticks — a civil-aviation first for the family — beneath a cabin lit by fourteen of the largest windows in business aviation and pressurised to just 3,255 feet at 41,000.
Its 2023 performance update raised range to 5,300 nautical miles at Mach 0.85 — or 4,500 miles flown at Mach 0.905, the speed at which this family prefers to travel. It is the modern Gulfstream sized for the missions the G450 once owned, flown a generation better.

Frequently asked
How far and how fast does a G500 fly?
5,300 nautical miles at Mach 0.85, or 4,500 flown at Mach 0.905 — Tokyo and Singapore non-stop with ease, and Perth–Dubai achievable with planning. The speed is the quiet luxury: sectors shrink by most of an hour against the previous generation.
What is the Symmetry flight deck?
Gulfstream's clean-sheet cockpit with active control sidesticks — each pilot feels the other's inputs electronically, a first for civil aviation in this class — plus extensive touchscreen control. For passengers it translates to smoothness and a crew flying the most modern deck in the category.
How does the G500 compare with the G600?
Same generation, same cross-section — the G600 adds cabin length and range (6,600 miles against 5,300). The G500 answers with a shorter field requirement and sharper economics on missions that don't need the extra reach.
