Gulfstream Aerospace (Booth No. 275) yesterday morning unveiled the G250 to succeed the G200, which entered service in 2000 as the Galaxy super-midsize business jet. This marks the second new aircraft launch this year for the Savannah, Ga. manufacturer following the official go-ahead for the large-cabin G650 in March. The company began accepting orders here at NBAA for the roughly $24 million (complete) airplane.

Preliminary performance numbers include a 3,400-nm range at Mach 0.80, a maximum speed of Mach 0.85, 45,000-foot ceiling and the ability to take off from 5,000-foot runways at its 39,600-pound mtow. Gulfstream maintains that the G250 will offer best-in-class cabin size, range and speed, thanks to an all-new wing and more powerful Honeywell engines. The new design, which retains the same fuselage as the G200 and has a new T-tail, also boasts PlaneView250 avionics based on the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion system.
