N642GS

This entry documents airframe N642GS, a Gulfstream GVII-G600 built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 73242. The airframe is owned by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US, and is registered in the US. There are no published notable registry actions beyond its current corporate ownership; the airframe remains associated with its original manufacturer for corporate or demonstration use. Condition and valuation details are not published for this specific tail.

The cabin of N642GS supports flexible layouts with options for a forward or aft galley, up to three to four distinct living areas, and a maximum of 19 seats configurable to mission needs. Avionics for this airframe are fitted with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight-deck automation and pilot situational awareness typical of the GVII series. Typical operational profiles for this platform include long-range transoceanic business transport and corporate executive missions enabled by a 6,600 nm range and a cruise speed of 488 kts; the airframe’s corporate ownership and Savannah base suggest it may be used for manufacturer demonstrations, customer support, or executive transport. Maintenance considerations align with a twin-engine PW815GA configuration, with service and support ecosystems centered on Gulfstream and Pratt & Whitney Canada networks.

The Gulfstream GVII-G600 occupies the high-performance large-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capabilities with a long-range of 6,600 nm and high-altitude ceiling of 51,100 ft. Competing models target similar markets from other manufacturers, and demand typically comes from large corporations, charter operators, and high-net-worth individuals seeking long-range, high-capacity cabins. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize factory support, PW815GA engine lifecycle management, and avionics updates for the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, factors that influence downtime and long-term valuation.
