Design and development

The Peregrine was originally known as the Commander Fanjet 1500, and as such it flew for the first time on 14 January 1983.Gulfstream Commander Fanjet 1500/Peregrine history
retrieved on 16 January 2009. After the cancellation of the Peregrine 600, the Fanjet 1500 was renamed Peregrine. 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.

Retrieved on 16 January 2009. 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inability to produce a design that met regulatory requirements (especially the requirement then in force - since rescinded - that single-engine aircraft have a maximum stalling speed of 61 knots), combined with insufficient orders, resulted in the program being terminated in 1985. The prototype airframe N84GP is on display in the aviation wing of the Science Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
