Designed in the mid-1950s, the Gulfstream 1 was the first twin turboprop designed specifically for corporate travel. The aircraft had a range of 2,200 miles, room for 12 passengers and maxed out at a speed of 350 mph at 25,000 feet. A product of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Co., the aircraft’s name hails from the coast of Florida, a favored vacation locale for Grumman execs. Loved by crew and passengers alike, the Gulfstream 1 enjoyed success that ushered in a new era of business travel and set the groundwork for one of the most successful lines of business jets in aviation history.
