In November 2011, the Gulfstream G650 received its provisional type certificate (PTC) from the FAA. This cleared the way for the company to begin interior completions of the ultra-large-cabin, ultra-long-range business jet in preparation for customer deliveries in the second quarter of 2012, as originally planned. In January 2011, General Dynamics Aviation Services was rebranded as Gulfstream to simplify its brand identity. Gulfstream now owns and operates nine service centers worldwide, plus one component repair facility. As of late 2012 there were indications that Gulfstream was close to announcing the design of a quiet supersonic business jet, first drawings of which appeared in December 2012. [...] Gulfstream suffered a major setback on April 2, 2011, when one of its G650 ultra long-range business jets crashed on the runway at Roswell, NM, fatally injuring the two test pilots and two flight test engineers on board. The aircraft was conducting a takeoff-performance test during which an engine failure was simulated by reducing the right engine's thrust to idle. The G650 became airborne briefly at a high angle of attack before its right wingtip hit the runway, then slid on the ground and caught fire. [...] In 2005, Gulfstream began to offer an in-flight internet connection – its Broad Band Multi-Link (BBML) system. Gulfstream also designed and developed a means of reducing the sonic boom caused by an aircraft "breaking" the sound barrier – the Quiet Spike. The Quiet Spike is a telescopic nose device that softens the effect of the sonic boom by smoothing the pressure wave created by flying at the speed of sound. Gulfstream views lifting the current US supersonic ban as essential for a viable business case for supersonic aircraft.

Leroy Grumman and Pilots Leroy Grumman and Pilots Courtesy of Northrop Grumman History Center The Gulfstream brand first appeared in 1957, when Grumman engineers completed the design for the turboprop-driven Gulfstream I, which had its maiden flight on August 14, 1958. The plane advertised a maximum speed of 350 miles per hour at 25,000 feet and a range of 2,200 miles. The cabin seated twelve comfortably and more if the need arose. The initial price was $845,000. Roy Grumman himself named the aircraft Gulfstream, likely because many Grumman executives vacationed in Florida, where the Gulf Stream current flows northward along the coast.

Two of these locations, Savannah and Brunswick, are located in Georgia. The other nine are found in Appleton, Wisconsin; Dallas, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; Lincoln, California; London, England; Long Beach, California; Mexicali, Mexico; Westfield, Massachusetts; and West Palm Beach, Florida. ### History [...] G650 G650 Image from Charly W. Karl In 2008 Gulfstream made aviation history when it unveiled the G650, the largest, fastest, and most technologically advanced aircraft in the Gulfstream fleet. That same year the company introduced the G250, later renamed the G280, to its fleet of business jets. Both aircraft made their maiden flights in 2009. ### Community Outreach Gulfstream’s market reach is international, aided in large part by its parent company, General Dynamics. On the local level Gulfstream is one of Savannah’s major employers, and in 2010 the company announced that over the next seven years it would once again expand its Savannah facilities, predicting that this expansion would create 1,000 new jobs within the region.
