[edit] Confusion over Gulfstream V SP and G550

The Gulfstream G550 is the production name for the Gulfstream V SP. The GV SP name was used during flight test but marketed as the G550. The G500 is a variant of the G550 model. There are significant differences in Max Ramp and TO weights of the G500 and the G550. If your goal is to keep the GV and G550 separate, you should eliminate reference to the GV SP on the GV page.

• The G-V and G-V SP are are covered by this article. The G500 and G550 are the current production versions and are covered in G500/G550. The variants in these groupings are similar enough. The weights only differ by less that 10%. -Fnlayson (talk) 03:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
• May have missed the point. There is NO G-V SP it is the G550 as in production.Specialmissions (talk) 03:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Yea, I guess the G-V SP got renamed. I can't find any mention of that name on the Gulfstream page. There's no content on the G-V SP in this article anyway. -Fnlayson (talk) 04:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

In October 2000, Gulfstream announced the next-generation Gulfstream, the GV-SP, ... the GV-SP prototype made its first flight on August 31, 2001, four weeks ahead of schedule. In September 2002, Gulfstream introduced its new product line and the designation for this aircraft became the Gulfstream G550. ...
