assembled on the body of the aircraft. In comparison with large airplanes
the gulfstream is very fast on cruise altitude and very fast back on the
ground what what will reduce the flying-time. The maximum speed is just
less than 1 mach (around 970Km/h). Because the ends of the wings are bowed
the airplane uses less fuel.
