N730GD

This airframe, registered as N730GD, is a Gulfstream G700 (GVIII-G700) bearing serial number 87130 and held in the name of GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP (a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US). The aircraft is registered in the US and appears on the manufacturer’s corporate registry, indicating continued OEM ownership and use in a corporate or demonstration role. Valued at $78,000,000, the airframe’s records show a factory-configured corporate asset maintained by the manufacturer rather than a third-party private owner. No third-party operator is listed; the home base corresponds to the owner’s location in Savannah.

The airframe carries a manufacturer (dealer) 9-seat corporate VIP configuration, with registry documentation showing 9 seats, indicating a single-cabin executive layout optimized for long-range passenger comfort. Avionics are listed as the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, providing the integrated flight deck suite typical of new Gulfstream G700s and supporting advanced long-range operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would include transcontinental and intercontinental non-stop flights enabled by its 7,750 nm range and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft. As an OEM-owned asset, maintenance and servicing are likely managed through Gulfstream’s factory support channels and scheduled under manufacturer control, simplifying logistical considerations but tying upkeep to OEM programs and documentation.

The Gulfstream G700 (GVIII-G700) occupies the top tier of large-cabin, ultra-long-range business jets, offering high-speed long-range transport with advanced avionics and cabin finishes. With twin Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 powerplants producing 18,250 lbf each, the type competes with other ultra-long-range bizjets in the large-cabin segment for corporate and charter demand. OEM ownership of this particular serial 87130 suggests it may be used for demonstrations, deliveries, or internal mobility, which can affect resale liquidity and maintenance history entries compared to aircraft in third-party service. Buyer and charter interest in G700s is driven by range, cabin capacity, and factory-supported maintenance programs reflected in this airframe’s corporate ownership and valuation.
