N748GM

The airframe bearing registration N748GM is a Boeing-built widebody delivered in 2015, serial number 40908, and is listed in corporate ownership by Sierra Nevada Company LLC of Sparks, NV, US. The type design is the Boeing 747-8B5, and the aircraft carries a United States registration (US) under its current owner. Ownership is recorded to Sierra Nevada Company LLC; registry entries identify the airframe as corporate-owned and available for reconfiguration from its original passenger fit. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this specific airframe.

As delivered, this airframe retained a typical three-class passenger cabin layout with approximately 467 seats; under current ownership the cabin may be reconfigured for alternate mission roles. Avionics fit is consistent with the 747-8 series standard factory installation, supporting long-range cruise at approximately 495 knots and service ceilings up to 43,000 feet. Operational profiles for this specific aircraft are aligned with corporate or specialized missions that exploit the model’s long range (8,000 nm) and high-capacity cabin, with the owner based in Sparks, NV, US responsible for maintenance and any mission-specific modifications. Notable maintenance considerations include engine support for the four GEnx-2B67/P powerplants, each rated at 66,500 lbf thrust, and the higher structural and systems complexity typical of four-engine, large jumbo transports.

The Boeing 747-8B5 occupies a niche as a high-capacity, long-range four-engine airliner suited to heavy passenger or adaptable mission roles, offering extended range and cruise performance relative to earlier 747 variants. Competing market alternatives for similar capacity and range are limited, making demand more specialized and often tied to large carriers, government, or corporate operators able to accommodate higher operating and maintenance costs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe emphasize lifecycle support for the GEnx-2B67/P engines and the availability of airframe heavy maintenance facilities able to service large four-engine types.
