Gulfstream Aerospace Gulfstream G250
The Gulfstream G250 was a redesigned version of the IAI Galaxy business jet, built to offer transcontinental range in a midsize cabin. It used new engines, a new wing, and upgraded systems before being renamed the Gulfstream G280. The G250 name therefore represents a short-lived but distinct transition model.
