N461FX

This entry describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N461FX, a 2011-built Gulfstream G450 with serial number 4214. The aircraft was manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace and is recorded in the U.S. registry as owned by the corporate entity GFI ACQUISITIONS LLC. The airframe’s registry information notably shows a seating configuration listing of 22 seats, which differs from the typical executive arrangement for the type. No public operator base or additional ownership timeline events are published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this airframe is described as a typical executive layout configurable for 12–16 passengers, though the registry entry lists 22 seats, indicating an operator-configurable interior or a high-density certification for this particular aircraft. Avionics fit follows the common Gulfstream fit for the type, in the Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView family, supporting advanced flight management and integrated displays. With a cruise speed of 459 knots and a range of 4,350 nautical miles, the airframe is well suited to transcontinental and transoceanic business missions, executive transport, and ad hoc charter operations within the typical Gulfstream long-range business jet mission set. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include upkeep of the twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engines and avionics modernisation lanes customary for 2011-build G450s.

The Gulfstream G450 (G-IVX/G450) family occupies the large-cabin, mid-to-long-range business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and long-range capability relative to light and mid-size business jets. Typical competitors in mission and market include late-model large-cabin jets from Bombardier and Dassault configured for transcontinental missions. Buyer and charter demand for 2011-vintage G450s balances performance with lifecycle maintenance factors; considerations for resale include engine program status for the Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C, avionics fit (Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView), and interior configuration differences such as the registry-listed 22-seat layout versus a conventional 12–16 passenger executive cabin.
