Product Overview
The Gulfstream GIV is an updated version of the Gulfstream GIII. It was given a 54-inch cabin stretch (allowing for a 6th window on each side), upgraded engines that are more powerful and fuel efficient than their predecessors, and an aerodynamically and structurally improved wing which allows for additional fuel capacity. Upgraded avionics made it the first business jet to have an entire glass cockpit with an advanced EFIS avionics suite and six color CRT displays.
As of September 2017, 93% of Gulfstream GIV aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 7% new. 10.1% are for sale with the majority of those (72%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale, the average time on the market is 371 days
Brief History
