Compared to the Gulfstream V, drag reduction details boost range by {{cvt|250|nmi|km}} and increase [[fuel efficiency]].<!--<ref name=BCA27Apr2017/>--> [[Maximum takeoff weight]] (MTOW) is increased by {{cvt|500|lb}} and takeoff performance is enhanced.<!--<ref name=BCA27Apr2017/>--> A seventh pair of windows is added and the entry door is moved {{cvt|2|ft}} forward to increase usable cabin length.<!--<ref name=BCA27Apr2017/>--> The PlaneView flight deck features [[Pointing device|cursor control devices]], [[Honeywell Primus]] Epic avionics, standard [[head-up guidance system]] by [[Rockwell Collins]] and [[enhanced vision system]] by [[Elbit]], improving [[situational awareness]] in [[Instrument meteorological conditions|reduced visibility conditions]].<ref name=BCA27Apr2017/>

Initial long-range cruise altitude is FL 400-410, first hour fuel burn is {{cvt|4,500-5,000|lb}} decreasing for the second hour to {{cvt|3,000 and 2,400|lb}} for the last hour.<!--<ref name=BCA27Apr2017/>--> Flight hourly budget is $700-950 for engine reserves, $250 for parts and 2.5 maintenance hours.<!--<ref name=BCA27Apr2017/>--> It competes against the [[Bombardier Global 6000]], which has higher direct operating costs and less range but a more spacious cross section, and the [[Dassault Falcon 7X]] with [[fly-by-wire]] flight controls, better [[fuel efficiency]] and a wider but shorter cabin.<ref name=BCA27Apr2017/>
