Airbus ACJ380

Nowadays, a private jet is no longer a rarity. Thousands of millionaires around the world can afford such luxury. And what remains to do billionaires? Their attention is attracted no longer by compact and economical business jets for 8-12 seats, but by huge passenger liners, like the Boeing 747 or Airbus A380, the price of which is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars. For the first time, the Boeing passenger airliner became a private jet in 1996. Model Boeing Business Jet, that is, the Boeing-737 in the VIP-configuration, at the time seemed something completely transcendent. But if you compare it with those planes that are privately owned by the richest people in the modern world - it will already look rather pale. Probably the most luxurious of modern business jets is the Airbus ACJ380. It is so spacious that inside its cabin the owner can realize all that he lacked space on any other aircraft. This “flying palace” was ordered by the oil billionaire from Saudi Arabia, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. The European Airbus A380 airliner has record sizes: it is a four-engine wide-body aircraft with a seven-story building height. The area of the wings - a little less than a football field. The luggage compartment can accommodate 70 cars, and the passenger compartment - more than 850 passengers. It can cover a distance of 15,200 km without refueling at a maximum speed of 900 km / h. But still, the purchase of such heavy aircraft by private individuals is a rarity so far. Much more popular models of private jets for large customers continue to be jets worth 40-60 million dollars, with a cabin that can accommodate 10-20 passengers.
