GRUMMAN “GULFSTREAM I”€

The Gulfstream I is a business transport designed to carry a crew of two with 10 to 14 passengers. Power is provided by twin Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines turning four-blade Rotol constant-speed propellers. The Gulfstream I first flew in 1958 and was the first United States twin-engine business aircraft to be certificated to cruise at 30,000 feet. A later version received certification as a 24-passenger variation for feeder-line use. Two Gulfstream offspring were enlisted for military use: the VC-4A was a U.S. Coast Guard transport and the TC-4C was an "avionics classroom" for the U.S. Navy.
