About the Gulfstream G280

The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize business jet that replaced the G200, featuring a redesigned wing based on the G550 and a T-tail configuration.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Range & Speed: Best-in-class range of 3,600 nm at Mach 0.80, capable of non-stop London to New York flights.
Runway Performance: Certified for steep approaches (e.g., London City Airport) and capable of operating from shorter runways (4,750 ft takeoff) than many competitors.
Cabin Comfort: Features a dropped aisle for increased headroom (6 ft 3 in), 19 large windows, and a cabin altitude of 7,000 ft at FL450.

Trade-offs

Floor Layout: The dropped aisle design means it does not have a completely flat floor, which some passengers may find less desirable compared to competitors like the Challenger 350.
Payload: Full fuel payload is relatively low (~1,000 lbs), requiring a trade-off between maximum range and passenger count.
