Gulfstream C-37 airplane model. The C-37A is a military version of the Gulfstream V business jet. The Gulfstream V can fly non-stop 6,500 nautical miles. On long flights, it can carry eight passengers and a crew of four at Mach 0.80 while cruising at 51,000 feet. Two 14,750-pound-thrust BMW-Rolls-Royce BR71048 engines provide the power.
