N221EA

This entry covers the individual airframe registered as N221EA, a 2002-built Gulfstream G-IV with manufacturer serial number 1476. The airframe is factory-built by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. and is registered in the US. Its documented owner is the corporate trustee AIRCRAFT TRUST & FINANCING CORP TRUSTEE, located in Wilmington, DE; this recorded trust ownership in Wilmington, DE represents the principal notable registry action associated with the airframe. The airframe’s condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data, but its configuration and equipment set it within the late-model G‑IV cohort.

As delivered, the airframe’s seating capacity of 22 indicates a high-density or corporate shuttle interior rather than a typical lower‑seating executive layout; specific cabin configuration and cabin amenities for this serial are not published in the data set. Operationally the airframe’s long-range capability of 4,220 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts support transcontinental and some transoceanic missions typical of Gulfstream G‑IV operators. The twin Rolls‑Royce Tay 611SER engines, each rated at 12,450 lbf, drive performance to a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, affecting typical routings that favor high‑altitude cruise profiles for fuel efficiency and air traffic separation. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow G‑IV type inspection and engine shop visit cycles; any unique maintenance records are not provided.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family occupies the long‑range, large‑cabin fixed‑wing multi‑engine niche, offering a balance of speed, range and cabin capacity reflected in this airframe’s figures. With a cruise near 459 kts and a range over 4,200 nm, it competes historically with aircraft in the late‑1990s to early‑2000s large business jet market. Buyer and charter demand for G‑IVs often hinges on condition, avionics upgrades and engine status—factors that would be decisive for resale or continued trust‑owner operation of N221EA.
