N518GS

This entry documents airframe N518GS, a Gulfstream G450 (G-IV-X / G450) built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 4353. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to G S TRANSPORT INC (a corporation) with an operator/home base recorded as San Antonio, TX, US. The aircraft is powered by Rolls-Royce turbofan engines and carries a certified seating layout for business transport; its market valuation is listed at $19,000,000. Notable registry actions beyond standard U.S. registration and ownership assignment are not published in the supplied data.

This specific G450, N518GS, is configured with up to 22 seats suitable for high-density corporate or charter missions within the Gulfstream secondary market; the supplied data does not specify a bespoke interior fit but indicates an operational emphasis on passenger transport. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView family, a common integrated flightdeck for the G450 that supports advanced flight management and situational awareness for typical business-jet operations. With a long-range capability of 4,350 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts, the airframe is well-suited to transcontinental and intercontinental missions flown from its recorded base in San Antonio, TX. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe would reflect the twin Rolls-Royce TAY propulsion system and Gulfstream airframe support practices customary to the model.

The Gulfstream G450 (G-IV-X / G450) occupies a performance niche as a long-range, high-speed large-cabin business jet in Gulfstream’s product line, combining transcontinental range with a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in this segment typically include other large-cabin long-range jets; buyer and charter demand historically focuses on reliability, cabin comfort, and avionics capability — all present in this airframe’s specification set. Resale and maintenance considerations for N518GS would reflect its 2016 build year, the Rolls-Royce TAY engine type, and the installed Honeywell Primus Epic/PlaneView avionics suite when compared to contemporaneous alternatives.
