Since there's so much surface space and the with the flaps coming down to 40 degrees. It would be interesting to hear how it handles during landing. With the wings so low to the ground with the flaps, there like a pocket, so how is the ground effect work?
Not really. Gulfstream's and other private jets are so expensive to manufacture, if they weren't pricey they'd go out of business. If you think 6 million is expensive, airlines pay 357 million for a 747, 106 million for an a320neo with winglets, and 433 million for an a380. Military cargo pays 218 million for a c-17 globemaster, and 500 million for the antonov 225 mriya. Compare those to the gulfstream G500.

Thank you rob! :D
What a dream of aircraft- perfect design to me!
Very quiet and very composed
Anybody else notice the Embraer Praetor 500 & 600 on the left? @1:45 now their bang for the buck!
Perfect landing!
Great video, and got better still, with the phone.
Great catch!!
Thanks Matthias ! :D
Super duper! The more the better :D! Liked for sure
Merci ! :D
One of the rare early G500 with only 6 windows 👍
The comment I was looking for, I was confused, looks like a G400
Beautiful!
that plane is nice and quiet
What's with the alternating flashing lights? Never seen that on an aircraft before.

they go down up 39 degrees and you are right, there is no need or almost none flare due to ground effect
Beautiful 😍😍
Nice plane.
Great plane
Beautiful aircraft and great vid thanks! Pity that annoying little turbo prop hadn’t gone earlier he totally drowned out the jet noise on takeoff 😄
Nice!!!

What kind of job do people that own these doo
The owner of Amazon has a g650 the biggest gulfstream

😍
G500.
We all bought a 500 Gulfstream here at our company. We own the company and its nice.
I doubt it cost over 3 million dollars to build development cost should not increase cost so much
wrong
each engine alone cost over 3 million
These jets are bueatiful but way overpriced

Margins are high due to low volume and nearly the same design complexity as a commercial jet
mikel1982 if not more with the 500/600, because of the advanced sidestick and all glass, touch based cockpit.
