Gulfstream Aerospace Gulfstream G280
The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize business jet, also developed with Israel Aerospace Industries, offering notably longer range and a more advanced wing than the smaller G150 in Gulfstream's lineup. It's been recognised for having some of the best runway performance in its class, able to take off and land from shorter airstrips than many rivals of similar size. Its cabin, while not as large as Gulfstream's flagship G650, still offers a stand-up-height interior for passenger comfort. It remains one of Gulfstream's core mid-size offerings alongside its larger, longer-range siblings.
