The Gulfstream IV (or G-IV) and derivatives are a family of private jet aircraft produced by Gulfstream Aerospace, a General Dynamics company based in Savannah, Georgia, United States. The G-IV ceased production in 2003.
The G-IV entered into service with serial number 1000 in 1987 and was upgraded to the G IV-SP at serial number 1214 in 1993. It was later redesignated G400 at serial number 1500. A short-ranged variant was created based on the original G-IV and designated the G300. With introduction of the G500/G550 (a upgrade to the G-V), the G-IV received an upgrade based on the newly created G550. This created the G450 and its short-ranged variant the G350.
