* The Gulfstream company -- once a component of Grumman, then an independent company, from 1999 to present a component of General Dynamics -- acquired a reputation for making the most elite business aircraft through its "Gulfstream I" twin turboprop, followed by its "Gulfstream II" twin fanjet, which then evolved into the "Gulfstream III" and "Gulfstream IV". From the 1990s, Gulfstream enhanced the product line, first with the "Gulfstream V" and its refined "G550" variant, and then the "G650", "G500", "G600", "G400", "G700", and "G800". This document provides a history and description of the Gulfstream series. A list of illustration credits is included at the end.
