GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE CORP GVIII-G800
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The Gulfstream G800 is the longest-range purpose-built business jet in the world: 8,200 nautical miles at long-range cruise, which connects essentially any two cities on earth with at most one stop and most pairs with none. It is the G700's fuselage shortened, on the same wing and the same Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines.
Everything about it is at the top of the market. Three living areas, the largest cabin windows in business aviation, a cabin altitude of about 2,900 feet at 41,000, and a price in the high seventies of millions before completion. It is also brand new — certified in 2025 — so there is no service history, no maintenance-cost record and no resale market, and every figure here comes from the manufacturer. Operating one requires a full flight department, a G800 type rating and two crew; this is not an owner-pilot aircraft in any sense.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories.
