INSIDE GULFSTREAM G280 THE PERFECT JET
It’s rare that a decade-old airplane betters newer designs but such is the case with the super-midsized Gulfstream G280. Compared with several competitors, the G280 is faster, has longer legs, and in some cases, offers a longer, wider, and taller cabin-all for around the same price. And with it you get Gulfstream’s globe-spanning product support, not an inconsequential consideration when you’re looking at a jet with seats for 10 passengers and a 3,600-nautical-mile range. Gulfstream ranked second among all airframers for its support of its business jets in a recent survey by our sister publication, Aviation International News.
Among the unschooled, there is a tendency to label the G280 as a descendant of the G200, an airplane Gulfstream inherited when it bought Galaxy Aerospace in 2001. The G200 came up short in so many ways-indicative of an aircraft that begged for further improvement. Gulfstream performed major surgery, trying to correct the myriad deficiencies in that aircraft, but ultimately decided that what the airplane really needed was new engines, wings, avionics, and systems. It kept the stand-up cabin fuselage, but that was about all.
