Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N11AR, is a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) built in 2011 with manufacturer's serial number 5351. The aircraft is recorded as owned by PERPETUAL AIR LLC, an Arlington, Virginia–based limited liability company; the U.S. registration is maintained under that corporate owner. The Gulfstream GV‑SP airframe is listed with an estimated market value of $20,000,000, reflecting its configuration and year of build. Registry entries show the aircraft operating in the U.S. civil category with corporate ownership and typical corporate/operator basing in Arlington, VA.

The aircraft’s cabin is configured to accommodate 20 seats, consistent with high-capacity long‑range corporate transport and charter missions. Avionics fit for this airframe is Gulfstream’s PlaneView family, supporting advanced flight management, navigation, and situational awareness for extended overwater and transcontinental routes. Typical mission profiles supported by the GV‑SP include long-range intercontinental and transoceanic flights enabled by the 6,750 nm range and high‑altitude cruise capability up to 51,000 ft. Operator support and maintenance planning focus on the twin Rolls‑Royce BR710 powerplants, airframe systems common to the GV‑SP line, and avionics life‑cycle management for the PlaneView suite. The aircraft’s corporate registration and basing in Arlington, VA anchor its operations in the U.S. corporate flight sector.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (marketed as the G550) occupies the long‑range, large‑cabin business jet niche, offering higher range and payload capability relative to shorter‑range large-cabin competitors. Competing models typically include other long‑range airframes from Bombardier and Dassault in similar mission classes. Buyer and charter demand for a 2011 GV‑SP is driven by its proven range (6,750 nm), cruise performance (459 kts), and mature Rolls‑Royce BR710 engine support network. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on engine shop visit history, avionics upgrades for the PlaneView system, and the stated market value of $20,000,000.
