It’s excellent for family holidays. The Williams FJ33 jet engine has a lot of zest to take you to far-off locations, the Garmin avionics will keep you informed to you where you’re going as well as how to get there, and the SiriusXM satellite radio will certainly keep everybody entertained the entire trip.

The Vision is smaller sized compared to a regular personal jet– a lot smaller. With just a 38-foot wingspan and at 3,700 pounds when empty, the jet is a lot smaller compared to also the smallest that Gulfstream has to offer, which has a 55-foot wingspan and weighs in at 14,400 pounds when empty.

In this new Gulfstream flight deck it is clear that there is no effort to edge pilots out of the cockpit and replace them with technology. What the new design does is simplify the pilot interfaces, including replacing many knobs and switches with touch screen controls and eliminating the massive control yoke in favor of a new type of sidestick control that makes the cockpit look much less cluttered, improves the view of the instrument panel displays and helps keep pilots in the control loop.
