I was once told by a Gulfstream salesman that the reason there are no leading edge devices on Gulfstreams is a heating issue for the leading edge anti-icing systems.

My reply was, "Well Boeing and Dassault figured it out, why can't your engineers?"

Got no reply.

Just one more reason we bought a 900EX rather than a G-IVSP.
