Gulfstream Aerospace GV
The GV was the first purpose-built ultra-long-range business jet, winning the Collier Trophy in 1997 and opening non-stop routes such as New York to Tokyo. Just 191 were built before the G550 succeeded it, yet many remain in service thanks to a robust airframe and a 6,500 nm range that still competes with far newer designs.
In short: The Gulfstream Aerospace GV is a Ultra-Long-Range with a range of 6,500 nm, a cruise speed of 488 knots and room for 13 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $5M–$11M and costs roughly $5,000 an hour to operate (estimate).
