N802GD

This airframe, registered as N802GD, is a 2023-built Gulfstream G800 (GVIII-G800) with serial number 88002. The aircraft is owned by GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US, and is registered in the US for company and test operations. The airframe has been reported in a 9-seat configuration for company/test use and carries an estimated market value of $72,500,000. Recorded as a manufacturer-owned asset used for development and corporate flight operations, the airframe’s documentation reflects its role in Gulfstream’s post-delivery testing and demonstration activities.

The airframe is fitted internally in a layout that the manufacturer describes as capable of accommodating up to four living areas, while this specific airframe was reported in a 9-seat company/test configuration. Avionics are provided by the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight-envelope, crew-alerting, and automation capabilities typical of modern ultra-long-range business jets. Typical mission profiles for this G800 include intercontinental point-to-point corporate and demonstrator flights leveraging its 8,200 nm range and high-altitude capability to operate up to 51,000 ft. As a manufacturer-owned aircraft, its maintenance and configuration cycles are aligned with Gulfstream’s test and demonstration schedules, and its Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 powerplants and high-end avionics require OEM-supported maintenance pathways and scheduled inspections.

The Gulfstream G800 (GVIII-G800) occupies the ultra-long-range, high-speed business jet niche, offering extended global reach and high-altitude cruise capability appealing to corporate flight departments and ultra-high-net-worth buyers. Competes with other ultra-long-range types in performance and cabin amenities; its long-range capability and modern systems support transoceanic nonstop missions that drive demand in charter and corporate markets. Maintenance and resale considerations hinge on manufacturer-backed support, engine program enrollment for the Pearl 700s, and the aircraft’s demonstrator/company provenance, which can affect residual value and buyer perception.
