Gulfstream Says EVS Now on More Than 200 of Its Business Jets

Gulfstream says that 213 of its in-service business jets were equipped with operational EVS (enhanced vision systems) at the end of 2005.

EVS is standard equipment on the 92 Gulfstream ultra-long-range G550 and long-range G450 delivered by year-end 2005.  EVS also is available as optional equipment on the company's new G500s and G350s, and as a retrofit on its GVs, GIV/GIV-SPs, G400s and G300s.

To date, Gulfstream has retrofitted EVS into 118 customer aircraft. Three test and experimental aircraft - a G450, a G550 and a GV - also are equipped with EVS.

The system was developed in cooperation with Kollsman, and incorporates a specially designed FLIR (forward-looking infrared) camera that projects a real-world image on a Honeywell HUD (head-up display).  03-07-2006.
