The G280 is a super mid-size business jet manufactured by Gulfstream. Originally designated the G250, this aircraft began as a collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), featuring a new wing, tail, and engines compared to its predecessor, the G200. It made its first flight in December 2009 and entered service in November 2012. The G280 is known for its speed, range, and comfortable cabin, holding a foundational position in the mid-size jet market.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, the manufacturer, traces its roots back to the 1950s when Grumman Aircraft Engineering Co. developed the turboprop Gulfstream I. The company’s focus shifted entirely to business jets over time, transitioning through ownership changes, including Rockwell and later Chrysler. General Dynamics acquired Gulfstream in 1999, securing its status as a world leader in high-performance business aviation.
