(But I highly doubt it). My guess, the G-500/600 and 650 will be the same... The G-450/550 will be a thing of the past. Again, that's my guess
And I think there will be three type ratings...
G500 and G600 will be a new type rating, G650 a type rating of its own and G450 and G550 under one type rating (with differential training).
Why didn't Gulfstream stick to the yoke for this
generation?
I know that had Gulfstream known that common type rating between G550 and G650 was not going to happen, they would have put sidesticks on the G650 too... But the G650 has a yoke now...
