N721GD

This airframe, registered as N721GD, is a Gulfstream GVIII-G700 with serial number 87121 and is held by GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US. The listing reflects the manufacturer’s demonstrator/registration status, noted as a manufacturer demo with manufacturer registration, and the airframe is maintained in corporate control rather than in private or third‑party operation. The configuration and registry data indicate it is operated from Gulfstream’s Savannah facilities and remains valued at $80,000,000 in current records. No change of ownership beyond the manufacturer is documented in the supplied data.

The airframe is fitted in a manufacturer/demo 9‑seat corporate layout under the manufacturer’s registration; production GVIII‑G700s can be outfitted to support up to 19 seats and multiple living areas. Avionics are installed as the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck™, supporting modern flightcrew interfaces and advanced automation consistent with long‑range corporate operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include transoceanic point‑to‑point transport within the model’s 7,750 nm range at high‑speed cruise of 488 kts and operational ceilings up to 51,000 ft, aligning with long‑range business use and demonstration sorties by the manufacturer. As a demonstrator retained by the manufacturer, maintenance and configuration changes are managed centrally by Gulfstream facilities in Savannah, and the aircraft’s role may include flight testing, customer demonstrations, and prospect outfitting trials.

The Gulfstream GVIII‑G700 occupies the ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin business jet sector, combining transoceanic range with high cruise speed and elevated service ceiling for efficient point‑to‑point travel. It competes with other top‑tier long‑range business jets and attracts buyers seeking extended nonstop capability and flexible interior layouts; production examples can expand seating to 19 and provide multiple living areas beyond the demonstrator’s 9‑seat fit. Market considerations for this model include residual values supported by strong OEM support and a modern avionics suite, while maintenance profiles reflect twin Rolls‑Royce Pearl 700 engines requiring OEM/authorized shop support and programmatic upkeep aligned with high‑end corporate operations.
