N863GT

This airframe, registered as N863GT, is a Boeing 747-8F freighter completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 67150. The aircraft was built by Boeing and carries US registration; ownership is held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE (a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US). The airframe’s initial registration and trustee ownership were recorded upon delivery in 2023, and it has been maintained in a freighter configuration since manufacture. Condition highlights reflect a new-build freighter delivered with factory-standard systems and a minimal crew accommodation fit for cargo operations.

The cabin of this airframe is configured as a freighter with a main-deck pallet system and only minimal flight and crew seating, totaling 8 seats for crew and attendants. The flight deck was delivered with a factory fit Rockwell Collins / Collins avionics suite, providing standard integrated navigation, communication and flight management functionality for long-range cargo operations. Typical mission profiles for this specific Boeing 747-8F center on intercontinental long-haul freight lanes consistent with its 4,265 nm range and high cruise speed of 490 kts, though exact operator routings and base locations are governed by the registered trustee owner and lessee arrangements. Maintenance considerations focus on four GEnx turbofan engines and freighter pallet system wear items inherent to heavy cargo utilization.

As a member of the Boeing 747-8 freighter family, this airframe occupies the heavy-payload, long-range freighter niche with high-thrust GE GEnx-2B67/P powerplants supporting substantial payload capability. Competing types in the heavy freighter sector include other large-concept freighters; demand drivers typically emphasize payload capacity, range and lifecycle maintenance costs tied to engine and airframe utilization. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2023-built unit hinge on freighter market demand, engine contractual support and the condition of the palletized main-deck system as documented in operator maintenance records.
