The Gulfstream GVII-G500 family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business-jet segment, combining high cruise speed—listed here as 595 kts—with transcontinental to intercontinental range. As a manufacturer-demo airframe with a demonstrator layout and factory ownership, resale comparables and market positioning are influenced by low-time status, factory support, and the installed Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck. Buyers and charter operators typically value the G500 for its combination of speed, altitude capability to 51,000 ft, and configurable cabin options up to 19 seats; maintenance and resale considerations for this unit will reflect its demonstrator provenance and factory ownership.
