The Gulfstream V (Model GV, pronounced Gee-5) is a long-
Gulfstream V
range, large business jet aircraft produced by Gulfstream
C-37A
Aerospace, derived from the previous Gulfstream IV. It flies up to
Mach 0.885, up to 51,000 feet (16,000 m) and has a 6,500 nautical
miles (12,000 km) range. It typically accommodates four crew and
14 passengers. It first flew on November 28, 1995, and entered
service in June 1997.[1] It is used by the US military under the
designation C-37A.[4] It is followed by an improved version, the
Gulfstream 550 (Model GV-SP).

The Gulfstream V (Model GV) was certified on April 11, 1997. Compared to the
Gulfstream IV, the engines are changed from Rolls-Royce Tay to Rolls-Royce
BR700-710A1-10 with increased thrust, higher bypass ratio, and Full Authority
Digital Engine Controls (FADEC). Operating ceiling is increased from
45,000 ft to 51,000 ft. It has thrust reversers and composite flight control
surfaces. The horizontal tail area is 30% larger, wingspan is increased from
Model in wind tunnel
74.6 ft to 93.5 ft, the fuselage is lengthened by 5 foot forward of the main entry
door, and by 2 foot aft of the wing. Maximum takeoff and landing weights are
increased by 15%.[5]

Capable of flying up to 6,500 nmi (12,000 km), it rolled out in 1995 and was Gulfstream's first ultra-long range business
jet. Total production of the Gulfstream V was 193 aircraft.[2]

C-37A
Designated C-37A in U.S. Air Force service, the Gulfstream V is used by
government and Defense Department officials. The US Coast Guard operates
two C-37A for transportation of the Department of Homeland Security
Secretary and the Commandant of the Coast Guard. The US Navy operates one
C-37A.

The aircraft has a flight management system with a worldwide satellite-based

Global Positioning System. The C-37A is capable of cruising at 51,000 feet
(16,000 m). Features include enhanced weather radar, autopilot and head-up USCG C-37A in flight
display for the pilot. Safety features include Enhanced Vision Systems that
allows increased visibility in adverse environments. The aircraft is also
equipped with commercial and military communications equipment to provide secure voice and data capability. The U.S.
Air Force equips the C-37A with a basic crew of two pilots, one flight engineer, one communications systems operator, and
one flight attendant. It accommodates 5 crew and 12 passengers.[3]

Operators

Civil operators
The majority of G-Vs are operated by corporate and individual owners. Mark
Cuban paid $40 million for a Gulfstream V in October 1999, earning a
Guinness Record of "largest single e-commerce transaction". Steve Jobs
received a Gulfstream V as compensation from Apple in 2000.[6]

On March 11, 2005, Gulfstream delivered an ultra-long-range G-V to the

National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The aircraft—known as the High-performance, Instrumented
Airborne Platform for Environmental Research (HIAPER), based in Boulder, Colorado, is being used by environmental
and atmospheric scientists from both public and private research facilities.[12] The GV was chosen by NCAR for its
exceptionally high cruising altitude, long range, endurance, payload, reliability, and low operating costs, as well as
worldwide product support.[13] The HIAPER Gulfstream V is modified to accept wing/pylon mounted instrumentation.
