Gulfstream Officially Acquires Nordam G500; G600 Nacelle Line At the start of the month General Dynamics company Gulfstream announced that it had officially acquired and taken over the Gulfstream G500 and G600 Nacelle Line from Nordam Group Inc. Gulfstream had already been operating the line from early September as part of an agreement with Nordam during its bankruptcy filing. The nacelles were being produced for the recently certificated G500 as well as the soon to be certificated G600.
"Gulfstream has a 60-year history of manufacturing and product excellence that will serve our customers well as we assume responsibility for nacelle production," said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. "The manufacturing of this component is firmly in our wheelhouse, especially since we also manufacture the wings and empennages for these aircraft." The nacelles fit on to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA for the G500 and the PW815GA for the G600.
