The Gulfstream G200, formerly known as the IAI Galaxy, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-manufactured twin-engine business jet, now produced for Gulfstream Aerospace. The G200 is a growth derivative of the IAI Astra (now the G100), using a scaled up Astra wing, with Kruger flaps, slats, and trailing edge flaps. It has a cruciform tail, PW306A engines, and a Collins Pro-Line 4 glass cockpit. Early planes used the Universal FMS, newer ones have Collins. One notable feature is the use of rubber de-ice boots on wing and horizontal stabilizer leading edges. Most jets today use engine bleed air to heat these areas. Newer G200's have silver colored de-ice boots to make them look more like other jets. It is rumored that Gulfstream is working on a followup aircraft (G250?) with a new glass cockpit, bigger wing, heated leading edges, and other refinements.
