History
Originating from work by American Jet Industries before Gulfstream's involvement, the Peregrine first flew in 1981 and was pitched both as a civil business jet and as a military jet trainer. It did not secure the military contracts needed for financial viability and production was not pursued.
Variants
The Peregrine 600 was the primary variant evaluated; no production series followed.
