The Gulfstream G100 aircraft is a small aircraft designed for business transportation at distances up to 4660 kilometers. The aircraft can accommodate from 6 (standard cabin configuration) to 9 people (extended version), while the aircraft is quite reliable, which is appreciated not only by the direct owners, but also by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Nevertheless, given the fact that the development of the aircraft took a long time, this model could not compete with other administrative aircraft, and therefore the production of the Gulfstream G100 was carried out only for several years, however, even in these short periods of time, about a hundred aircraft, most of which continue to be operated not only by private owners, but also by aviation operators around the world.

The power plant of the aircraft Gulfstream G100 includes two turbofan engines Honeywell TFE-731-40R, allowing to develop the capacity of 18,9 kN each, allowing aircraft to travel long distances and to make air travel at speeds of the order of 890 km \ h. (maximum speed of flight). Among other things, it is worth noting that this power plant is not only sufficiently robust, and easy to maintain, as a consequence, the aircraft operating costs owners quite cheap.

Aircraft Gulfstream G100 comes in two basic interior design, which is primarily dependent on the configuration of the aircraft at the same time the customer can submit its own version of the trim that enables the most comfortable operation of the aircraft for passengers.
