The current and projected soft economy and related depressed sales market for business jets has result-ed in a nearly one-year schedule extension of the Gulfstream 150, according to Gulfstream Aerospace.

“We have just completed the preliminary design review, and the overall configuration of the aircraft has been determined,” Mike Rowland, Gulfstream vice president of G100/G200 programs, told AIN. “Interior design definition is under way, the avionics systems have been defined and we are finalizing supplier selection for all of the significant systems on the aircraft.” Gulfstream announced the G150, a derivative of the G100 (formerly the Astra SPX), at last year’s NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla.
