The Gulfstream G200, a super-midsize business jet that bridged the gap between midsize and large-cabin corporate aircraft, revolutionized medium-range business aviation in the late 1990s. First flown on December 25, 1997, it was a low-wing twin-engine aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A turbofans, seating 8 to 19 passengers in an 869 cubic foot cabin. With a maximum range of 3,312 nautical miles and cruise speed of 470 knots, it enabled non-stop flights on routes like London-New York. The aircraft was manufactured by Israel Aircraft Industries under contract to Gulfstream Aerospace.
