Design and Powerplant

Engines: Two Rolls-Royce BR710 C4-11 turbofan engines.
Thrust: 68.4 kN (15,385 lbf) per engine.
Key Improvement: The G550 introduced a redesigned nose section compared to the GV, which incorporated the next-generation PlaneView cockpit, moving the entrance door forward and adding a seventh cabin window.
Avionics: Equipped with the PlaneView integrated flight deck, based on the Honeywell Primus Epic system, featuring four large 14-inch liquid crystal displays.
Safety Feature: Includes the innovative Enhanced Vision System (EVS), which projects thermal imagery onto the Head-Up Display (HUD), allowing pilots to see runway lights and terrain in low-visibility conditions.
Cabin: Features 100% fresh air replenishment (no recirculation) and the lowest cabin pressure altitude in its class, reducing passenger fatigue on long flights.

Performance and Usage

Max Cruise Speed: Mach 0.85 (approx. 904 km/h or 488 knots).
High-Speed Cruise: Mach 0.87 (approx. 925 km/h or 500 knots).
Maximum Range: 12,501 km (6,750 nautical miles) at Mach 0.80. This allows non-stop flights between city pairs like Tokyo and Paris or New York and Dubai.
Service Ceiling: 15,545 m (51,000 ft).
Military/Special Use: The G550 airframe is extensively used by military forces (including the US, Singapore, and Australia) as a Special Mission Aircraft, such as the **C-37B** VIP transport and the Conformal Airborne Early Warning (CAEW) platform.
Design Award: The G550 team was honored with the prestigious Collier Trophy in 2003 for its technological innovation and advancement in aviation.
