Model & Market Context
This entry covers Gulfstream airframe N280GD, a Gulfstream G280 built in 2010 with serial number 2003. The airframe is registered in the US and is registered to GENERAL DYNAMICS ORDNANCE AND TACTICAL SYSTEMS INC, a corporation based in Saint Petersburg, FL, US, which serves as the operator/home base. The aircraft’s registry reflects corporate ownership rather than private or fractional use, and the listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $14,000,000. Maintenance and operational history details beyond registry and certification are not published here.
The interior configuration for N280GD includes a forward galley and provision for up to two living areas; the factory and typical executive fit are for eight to ten seats, while registry certification for this airframe shows 21 seats, indicating a higher-capacity or alternate certification layout. Avionics for the airframe are the Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting advanced flightdeck automation, situational awareness, and long-range IFR routing. Operational use by a corporate defense contractor suggests missions could range from executive transport to multi-leg business itineraries within the aircraft’s 3,600 nm range and long-range cruise profile of 459 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and Gulfstream OEM programs, with lifecycle and resale influenced by avionics standardization and the airframe’s corporate-registered status.
The Gulfstream G280 family occupies the super-midsize segment, offering transcontinental capability with high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft ceiling, positioning it against competitors in the super-midsize and large-cabin markets. Demand among corporate and charter buyers favors aircraft with modern avionics suites like PlaneView280™ and efficient Honeywell HTF7250G powerplants; resale and maintenance values are affected by engine program participation, interior certification choices (executive vs. higher-capacity), and the aircraft’s documented hours and cycles, which are not published here for N280GD.
