The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize twin-engine business jet designed for high performance and versatility. It delivers a blend of impressive speed, substantial range, and efficient operation, making it a top choice for executives, charter operators and those seeking intercontinental capability without stepping into the large-jet category.
Capacity: Configurable for up to 10 passengers, typically flown with two crew, offering a comfortable cabin for business or private use.
Performance:
Maximum range around 3,600 nautical miles (~6,667 km) in long-range cruise with typical payload.
High-speed cruise capability near Mach 0.84, with maximum operating Mach up to 0.85.
Service ceiling around 45,000 feet (~13,716 m).
Take-off & accessibility: Designed to operate from shorter runways relative to many jets of similar class; take-off distance near 4,750 ft (~1,448 m) at MTOW.
Cabin & comfort:
Cabin length approximately 25 ft 10 in (~7.87 m) excluding baggage compartment.
Cabin width about 6 ft 11 in (~2.11 m), height around 6 ft 1 in (~1.85 m).
Baggage volume of roughly 120 cubic feet (~3.4 m³) providing generous luggage space for long flights.
Weights & dimensions:
Maximum take-off weight around 39,600 lb (~17,962 kg).
Exterior length ~66 ft 10 in (~20.37 m) and wingspan ~63 ft (~19.2 m).
Technology & systems: Equipped with modern avionics (PlaneView 280 flight deck) and high-thrust Honeywell HTF7250G engines to deliver its performance and efficiency.
If you’re looking for a business jet that offers executive-class comfort, wide operational flexibility (including shorter fields and more destinations), and the ability to fly longer distances without compromise, the G280 stands out. It allows serious capability—near large-jet performance—while remaining in the super-midsize category, which often means lower operational costs and greater access to airports.
Acquisition and operating costs for a jet of this class are significant: not just fuel and maintenance, but crew, hanger, insurance, and regulatory compliance.
Payload vs fuel trade-offs are important: for maximum range you may need to reduce passengers or luggage.
Training and operational infrastructure for a sophisticated jet is more demanding than for smaller aircraft.
Specification varies with optional equipment, interior layout and mission configuration—always review individual airframe details.
