Gulfstream G280 Long Range Private Jet
The Gulfstream G280 is a super mid-size jet that was first announced at the 2008 NBAA convention in October. It was manufactured in conjunction with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and was originally named the G250, before being renamed to the G280 sometime in 2011.
There are approximately 4 cabin configurations that can be set up with the G280. One of the more spacious configurations, allows for this aircraft to travel with up to 10 passengers and sleep up to 5. When it comes to range, this aircraft is capable of flying short distances, as well as transatlantic travel.
The maximum range the G280 is capable of reaching is approximately 3,600 nautical miles. While it's maximum cruise speed (or high speed cruise) is approximately Mach 0.84.
When you have a look at the baggage compartment on the G280, you will recognize its volume is approximately 120 ftΒ³. This is said to be among the largest in its class for external baggage storage. When you actually compare the storage size / capacity to the G450, you can really notice a difference.
Also
The G280 was meant to compete with other aircraft in its class such as; the Bombardier Challenger 350, Hawker 4000, Cessna Citation Sovereign & the Dassault Falcon 2000S.
The lavatory on this aircraft is also quite spacious and includes a window to help provide more natural light.
