RADAR ESTIMATE

What N108RT is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Gulfstream IV on its own yet, so this borrows the Gulfstream G450 curve, scales it to N108RT's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N108RT

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers airframe N108RT, a Gulfstream G-IV built in 1999 with serial number 1387. The aircraft is owned by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a government-affiliated owner based in Lexington, MA, US, and is registered in the US.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this specific airframe is recorded as a 22-seat transport configuration; exact interior fit details are not published, but the noted seating count points to a high-density transport or institutional mission layout rather than a typical executive VIP fit. Avionics specifics are not provided in the available dataset, so standard Gulfstream G-IV systems of the era are presumed unless otherwise refitted by the owner. Based in Lexington, MA, the aircraft operation under Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests mission profiles that could include executive transport, group travel, research support, or institutional logistics over medium to long ranges up to 4,216 nm. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its late-1990s manufacture date and the twin Rolls-Royce TAY engines, which require specialized support and parts planning consistent with Gulfstream fleet logistics.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental and transoceanic capability with cruise speeds around 459 kts and service ceilings near 45,000 ft. Typical competitors include similarly sized late-1990s types offering long-range capability; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its age, the institutional 22-seat interior, and the economics of supporting Rolls-Royce TAY powerplants.
