The three forward sections - wing carry through, rear and aft - are all aluminium.
The radome is glass epoxy with a Nomex core. The avionics bay doors are carbon fibre and Nomex. The tailcone bulkhead is titanium.
The fuselage is based on that of the G200 with the fuselage fuel tank deleted to increase interior space.
The T tail has sweptback surfaces and the transonic wing has winglets. Dual hydraulic systems actuate rudder and elevators, and two hydraulic accumulators support emergency braking and the parking brake.
It has tricycle type, retractable, trailing-link landing gear.
