Operational Context
Gulfstream G280 — super-midsize business jet
The G280 first flew in 2009 and entered service in 2012. It introduced a new wing design and advanced cockpit systems. The cabin layout emphasized passenger comfort and flexibility.
Two Honeywell HTF7250G turbofan engines producing approximately 7,624 pounds of thrust (33.9 kN) each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches Mach 0.85. Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 39,000 pounds (17,690 kg), with range near 3,600 nautical miles (6,667 km).
The G280 has been widely adopted in corporate and charter roles. Its balance of performance and cabin space strengthened Gulfstream’s presence in the super-midsize market. Production continues as the model remains competitive in its segment.
