Fanjet 1500 / Peregrine Fanjet 1500 on flight testing General information Type Business jet National origin United States Manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace Number built 1 History First flight 14 January 1983 Developed from Gulfstream American Hustler Gulfstream Peregrine 600

The **Gulfstream Aerospace Peregrine** was a single-engine [business jet](/source/Business_jet) prototype aircraft developed in the United States by [Gulfstream Aerospace](/source/Gulfstream_Aerospace) in the early 1980s. It was developed from the company's [Hustler](/source/Gulfstream_American_Hustler) business aircraft and the company's military trainer aircraft, the [Peregrine 600](/source/Gulfstream_Peregrine_600).[1]

## Design and development

The Peregrine was originally known as the **Commander Fanjet 1500**,[2] and as such it flew for the first time on 14 January 1983.[3][4] After the cancellation of the Peregrine 600, the Fanjet 1500 was renamed Peregrine.[3] The Hustler's forward fuselage design (with a new nose) was used for the Peregrine, while the Peregrine 600's wings, tail and rear fuselage were incorporated into the new type.[1] In 1984 Gulfstream Aerospace announced that it would go ahead with production after receiving 27 orders with paid deposits.[5] However Gulfstream's inability to produce a design that met regulatory requirements (especially the requirement then in force - since rescinded - that single-engine aircraft have a maximum [stalling speed](/source/Stall_(flight)) of 61 knots), combined with insufficient orders, resulted in the program being terminated in 1985.[1][3] The prototype airframe N84GP is on display in the aviation wing of the [Science Museum](/source/Science_Museum_Oklahoma) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
