1 History

The first aircraft named Gulfstream was the twin- turboprop Grumman Gulfstream I . The success of this program lead to development of the bizjet Grumman Gulfstream II . In 1978, Grumman sold Gulfstream to American Jet Industries , renaming the company to Grumman American. The purchase of Rockwell's Aero Commander program completed the formation of the company. In 1985, Chrysler acquired Gulfstream, and renamed it again to Gulfstream Aerospace.

In 1999, General Dynamics acquired Gulfstream from Forstmann Little, and in 2001 added the Galaxy Aerospace Company from Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI). Their production lines are used to co-produce the G100/G150 and G200 with IAI.
