The G280 boasts the longest range at fastest cruise speed in the super mid-size business jet category. A new high-speed wing and Honeywell HTF7250G engines provide the platform for this superb performance. With excellent field performance, the G280 has the ability to obtain access into some of the most difficult airports. With the most spacious cabin in its class, the G280 cabin can provide seating for up to ten passengers in two seating areas. The large galley and in-flight access to baggage provides the best accommodations for passengers. The 100 percent fresh air, low cabin altitude, quiet cabin and large windows reduce fatigue and promote a comfortable cabin environment. The G280 introduces the PlaneView280™ cockpit which brings the PlaneView® philosophy from the G350® to the G650® into the super mid-size market. This advanced flight deck improves safety through reduced pilot workload and improved situational awareness. Safety during low visibility operations can be further improved with the optional HUD II heads-up guidance systems and Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS II). The introduction of auto-braking is an industry first in this market, to enhance safety, improve passenger comfort and reduce brake wear. The Gulfstream G280 represents outstanding value in the super mid-size market. Combining improved fuel efficiency, an excellent warranty and enhancements to improve maintainability, the G280 will have low operating costs.

G280 Performance

Thanks to its high-speed wing and Honeywell HTF7250G engines, the G280™ can fly 200 nautical miles farther than Gulfstream promised when it introduced the aircraft in 2008. That means the G280 can carry four passengers 3,600 nm (6,667 km) at Mach 0.80, farther and faster than any other aircraft in its class. With its additional range capabilities, the G280 can easily link London to New York non-stop or New York to Tokyo with one stop.

Another improvement to the aircraft's final performance specifications is a 210 foot shorter takeoff distance. At maximum takeoff weight, the G280 can take off in 4,750 feet (1,448 m) for sea level, standard day conditions. This allows the G280, fully loaded, to depart from short airstrips such as Carlsbad near San Diego, or Chicago Executive Airport (Palwaukee).
