N835GA

This airframe, registered as N835GA, is a Gulfstream GVIII-G800 built with serial number 88035 and is retained by its manufacturer, GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US. The aircraft carries a US registration and appears on the manufacturer’s own registry as a 9-seat demonstrator/configuration example; the listing and current ownership by the builder indicate this airframe has been operated and displayed in support of product introduction and customer demonstration activities. As a manufacturer-owned asset, it has not entered a typical owner-operator transfer chain, and its valuation is recorded at $72,500,000, reflecting a new-build, line-fit condition with full factory support potential.

The manufacturer registration lists a 9-seat cabin for this specific airframe while noting configurability up to 19 seats and up to 4 living areas, indicating the aircraft is fitted in a factory demonstration layout but can be reconfigured to multiple layouts for customer missions. The cockpit is equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced avionics, flight-envelope protections, and pilot assistance features consistent with GVIII series operations. Typical missions for this airframe when deployed by the manufacturer include transcontinental and intercontinental customer demonstrations and ferry flights utilizing its 8,200 nm range and high-altitude capability to operate at 51,000 ft. Maintenance and support considerations align with factory-owned demonstrators: full OEM maintenance tracking, immediate access to Gulfstream fleet support, and potential for rapid reconfiguration between demonstration and customer-delivery layouts.

The GVIII-G800 occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet niche within Gulfstream’s portfolio, offering extended intercontinental range and high cruise altitudes enabled by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 powerplants. It competes with other ultra-long-range platforms for buyers seeking transoceanic capability and large, customizable cabins; its manufacturer ownership and demonstrator role often bolster early market presence and charter demand visibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by factory ownership, meticulous OEM records, and the flexibility to be completed in multiple cabin configurations.
