Gulfstream Aerospace traces its origins to 1958, when Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation developed the twin-turboprop Gulfstream I to serve the emerging business aviation market. Building on that success, the company introduced the jet-powered Gulfstream II in the 1960s, helping define the modern business jet category with longer range and higher performance. In 1978, the Gulfstream program was spun off and eventually acquired by Chrysler Corporation before being sold again to General Dynamics in 1999, under which it remains today. Over the decades, Gulfstream became synonymous with ultra-long-range private jets through models like the Gulfstream IV, V, and later the G650 and G700, known for their speed, range, and luxury interiors. Today, Gulfstream Aerospace is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of business aircraft, serving corporate, government, and high-net-worth clients globally.
