Gulfstream G280

Gulfstream G280

The Gulfstream G280 is a twin-engine business jet developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and manufactured for Gulfstream Aerospace. It is classified as a super midsize jet and is part of Gulfstream’s long-range, high-performance aircraft family.

The G280 is based on the earlier Gulfstream G200 but includes a larger cabin, more powerful engines, and a modern avionics suite. It first flew in 2009 and received FAA certification in 2012. Customer deliveries began later that year.

The aircraft is powered by two Honeywell HTF7250G turbofan engines, enabling it to reach cruise speeds of approximately Mach 0.85. It is capable of flying up to 3,600 nautical miles, depending on conditions and load. The G280 has a service ceiling of 45,000 feet and can carry up to 10 passengers in typical configurations.

Notable features of the G280 include:

• Gulfstream PlaneView280 flight deck, based on the Garmin G5000 platform
• Cabin length of approximately 25 feet 10 inches
• Cabin height of 6 feet 3 inches, allowing full stand-up access
• Pressurized baggage compartment with 120 cubic feet of storage
• Short-field performance that allows operation from runways under 5,000 feet

The aircraft is used for private, corporate, and chartered flights worldwide and is notable for combining transcontinental range with midsize jet efficiency.

As of today, the G280 remains in active production and serves as Gulfstream’s entry-level model in its super midsize category.
