Business requirements vary tremendously, but no matter where a company is located or the nature of the enterprise, the decision to utilize business aviation-and the choice of aircraft-is made within a framework that weighs benefits against costs. And when the needs include safe and reliable systems, the ability to engage customers and colleagues around the globe, and a comfortable cabin that promotes productivity, many organizations and individuals have chosen the aircraft they consider peerless: the ultra-long-range Gulfstream G550. Who can argue? In a very real sense, it is not a matter of opinion, but a matter of fact. In 2003, the G550 and the Gulfstream Aerospace team that built this remarkable aircraft won the National Aeronautic Association's Robert J. Collier Trophy, the benchmark of aviation and aerospace achievement for more than 100 years. The basis for this highly prestigious award reads: "For leading-edge achievement in designing, testing and building an innovative aircraft while incorporating measurable safety enhancements and far-reaching advances in aerospace technology."
