Recognition (WEFT)

W — Wings	Low-mounted, swept
E — Engines	2 × turbofan, fuselage-mounted
F — Fuselage	Swept wing and aft-fuselage turbofans
T — Tail	T-tail

WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.

Spot it by:

Wider oval cabin than the earlier G100
Swept wing and aft-fuselage turbofans
T-tail on a mid-size fuselage

Distinguish it from the G100 by the noticeably wider, deeper cabin, while retaining the swept wing, aft engines and T-tail.

History

Gulfstream and IAI developed the G150 as a successor to the G100, fitting a new wider fuselage cross-section on the proven Astra wing. It first flew in May 2005 and entered service in 2006.

Variants

The G150 shares its lineage with the Astra/G100 family but introduced a redesigned oval cabin seating up to eight. It sits below the larger Galaxy-derived G200 in the range.

Where you'll see it

The G150 is flown by UK and European charter and corporate operators wanting a fast mid-size jet with a comfortable cabin for regional and transcontinental trips.
