Many Gulfstream V-SP improvements are used: the Honeywell advanced flight deck display suite, electrical power generation, cabin temperature control and pressurization, and nose and nose landing gear. It also has improved APU and flap/stab actuation system, redesigned main landing gear wheels and brakes, flight control system hard-over protection system.

330+ aircraft were in service at the end of 2014, with prices ranging from $15 million to $32 million.
