The Gulfstream G550 has a glide ratio of approximately 15:1. This means that for every 15 units of horizontal distance covered, the aircraft can descend 1 unit vertically. This glide ratio allows for effective performance in emergencies and provides pilots with a better understanding of their descent capabilities in case of an engine failure.
