Gulfstream G280

Overview

• Gulfstream, widely known for its long-range, large-cabin business jets, is recasting its position in the super-midsize market. That niche—loosely defined as an airplane with a 3,000-nm range with four passengers; a max cruise speed of 0.80 Mach or better; at least eight or nine seats, a galley, and lav; and a max takeoff weight in the 30,000- to 40,000-pound range—was formerly filled by Gulfstream’s G200. Gulfstream retained the G200’s cabin cross-section dimensions; swapped the PW306As for more powerful Honeywell HTF7250G engines of 7,624 lbst; installed a new, three-display, 15-inch-screen Rockwell Collins PlaneView280 avionics suite; gave the airplane a T-tail; and made several systems changes to come up with the new model G280. Oh, and the G280’s huge new wing (495 square feet) outperforms the G200’s (369 square feet), and is based on the Gulfstream G550 wing planform.
