Oron

The Gulfstream Oron is a long‑range business jet that entered service in 2015 after a decade of development by Gulfstream Aerospace. Conceived as a bridge between the G550 and the ultra‑long‑range G650, the Oron combines a stretched fuselage with advanced wing design derived from the G500, giving it a maximum take‑off weight of 84,000 lb and a range of 7,200 nautical miles at Mach 0.85. Its first flight on 12 March 2013 demonstrated the effectiveness of the composite‑winglet and adaptive‑flex tail, features that reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency by roughly 12 % compared with earlier models. The cabin, measured at 12.5 feet in height, offers a customizable three‑zone layout, high‑speed internet, and a low‑noise certification that meets ICAO Stage 4 standards. The Oron’s avionics suite, based on the Symmetry Flight Deck, integrates touchscreen controls, synthetic vision and predictive weather radar, enhancing situational awareness for pilots. Since its launch, the Oron has been adopted by major corporations and government agencies, solidifying Gulfstream’s reputation for delivering high‑performance, ultra‑long‑range jets that expand the practical limits of business aviation. Its entry into service also prompted several airports to upgrade runway lighting and ground handling equipment to accommodate the jet's larger wingspan and higher approach speeds.
