N590GA

This article covers the specific Gulfstream demonstration airframe registered as N590GA, a Gulfstream G500 (GVII-G500) with manufacturer serial number 72190. The aircraft is owned by GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP (a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US) and appears in U.S. civil registry as a manufacturer/demo example rather than a third‑party operator. The registry shows U.S. registration and corporate ownership; no subsequent ownership transfers are recorded in the provided data. The airframe is valued at $44,650,000 and is configured in a nine‑seat manufacturer/demo layout for demonstration and customer familiarization missions.

The airframe carries a 9‑seat manufacturer/demo configuration (registry); the model’s typical outfittings support up to 19 seats and up to three living areas, although this particular unit is maintained for demonstration roles rather than high‑density passenger carriage. The cockpit is equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced crew surveillance and flight management for long‑range business missions. Typical operations for this demo airframe include customer demonstration flights, acceptance flights, and delivery‑oriented sorties originating from the manufacturer’s base in Savannah, GA, US. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect its role as a manufacturer‑owned demonstrator, with configuration and avionics kept representative of production G500 standards for evaluation purposes.

The airframe is a member of the Gulfstream G500 (GVII‑G500) family, a midsize to large business jet class offering transcontinental range and high‑altitude capability with a 51,000 ft ceiling and a 5,300 nm range. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA engines, the G500 targets buyers seeking a combination of speed, range and advanced cockpit technology embodied by the Symmetry Flight Deck. Competing types in the market niche typically include other ultra‑long‑range and high‑performance business jets; resale and charter appeal for manufacturer demo airframes can be influenced by demo‑configuration interiors, low accumulated hours, and dedicated maintenance histories.
