Fuel consumption varies greatly on any jet airplane depending upon what the mission parameters are. Since jet engines are most efficient at altitude, the fuel comsumption is much less on longer trips than it is for shorter ones.
Conklin and de Deker lists an average fuel burn of 450 US Gallons per hour for the G550. How they arrive at that, I do not know. Your mileage may vary.
I have a friend who works for Gulfstream, and he is going to give me a tour of all the aircraft! I can't wait!! I'm 13 and have 2 flight hours, and hope to fly jets or work for an airline! I LOVE aviation!!!
Did he really get one? I didnt listen to his show lately. I know he just sign a new contract for about 1/2 a Bil. he can afford it. If that true good for him, he earned it.
well done to all the G5 team,and the Rolls Royce company, for your top quality work, giving pleasure to top quality pilots flying this aircraft Happy New Year

Who gives a shit if Rush has one? Let's see...
Gulfstream and their employees of course.
The parts people he buys from and Gulfstream buys from.
The people he buys the fuel from.
The pilots he hires to fly it.
The ground crew he pays to maintain and repair it.
And the airport and hanger people he pays to store it.

Could anyone please tell me the hourly fuel consumption of the G550? Like a 2008 or 2009 model? Like the ones seen in this video.
