Gulfstream Aerospace G500
The G500 introduced Gulfstream's clean-sheet GVII family in 2018, with full fly-by-wire controls, active sidesticks and the touchscreen-based Symmetry flight deck. Its 5,300 nm range at Mach 0.85 connects Los Angeles with London or New York with Dubai, and the type has become the backbone of Gulfstream's large-cabin sales.
In short: The Gulfstream Aerospace G500 is a Large Jet with a range of 5,300 nm, a cruise speed of 516 knots and room for 13 passengers. It lists at about $49.5M new and costs roughly $4,600 an hour to operate (estimate).
