The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) family occupies the long-range, large-cabin executive transport niche, offering transoceanic reach and high cruise speeds that compete with models such as the Bombardier Global series and Dassault Falcon long-range derivatives. With Rolls-Royce BR710 powerplants producing 15,385 lbf each, the type balances performance and operating economics attractive to corporate and charter buyers. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2005 airframe include typical mid-life component overhauls and potential interior refurbishment to align a 20-seat certificate with market expectations for executive layouts; the listed value of $15,000,000 reflects both age and fitted capability.
