[edit] Reorganization of aircraft aricles

Most of the Gulfstream aircraft articles are in great need of reorganization, and in most cases wikification. Even the article names are non-standard and haphazard, For the main 5 models:

• Grumman Gulfstream I - text primairly covers C-4 military versions; was not produced by GA
• Grumman Gulfstream II - brief coverage of C-11, no mention of who produced the model and when
• Gulfstream III - redirects to C-20 Gulfstream; covers military GIII and GIV variants only
• Gulfstream IV - redirects to Gulfstream G400/G450, coverage only after rebranding
• Gulfstream V - redirects to Gulfstream G500/G550, good coverage after rebranding; C-37 Gulfstream V article also exists (fair coverage); these two are probably the best articles in the bunch.

With the (possible) exception of the Gulfstream I, I propose renaming the other artiles Gulfstream II through Gulfstream V, and include both civil and military articles in the coverage.

In addition, the rebranded articles could remain as they are, and foucus on development since rebranding, while the earlier articles would cover up to rebranding. The articles that are now rebranded have decent coverage, so I think there will be enough content from before to fill out the articles. If not, then the old brands (GIV, GV), can redirect t the new.

Any suggetsions? - BillCJ 19:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

My recommendations:

• Grumman Gulfstream I - Expand
• Grumman Gulfstream II - Expand
• C-20 Gulfstream - move to Gulfstream III and expand in a fashion similar to what we did with North American Sabreliner
• Gulfstream G100/G150 - Expand
  • Merge in C-38 Courier
• Gulfstream G200 - Create and expand
• Gulfstream G300/G350 - Create and expand; though it may be that since the G300/G350 are based upon the G-IV, they could constitute one article
• Gulfstream G400/G450 - Expand
• C-37 Gulfstream V - Merge into Gulfstream G500/G550 and expand —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 19:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Good ideas. Any recommendation on which names to give preference too? - BillCJ 00:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Machstream?

Didn't Gulfstream plan a supersonic bizjet? With Sukhoi, IIRC. Trekphiler (talk) 23:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

As of right now Gulfstream is Supposible planing 2 new Bisness jets, I wide body G550 and a possibly a small supersonic one as well. This is all speculation at this time, as Gulfstream has not annouced officaly the introduction of either. Gulfstream is currently expanding it Savannah plant for the manufacturing of a new busness jet, and the parent company General Dynamics has stated to expect a big announcment at the end of the first quater of this year from Gulfstream. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mavin 101 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
