THE world’s first private jet that can fly an incredible 9,000 miles without stopping is set to launch across US and Europe.
The Gulfstream G800’s record-breaking range means that travellers can get to their destinations in less time.
The private jet has secured FAA and EASA certifications – officially making it the longest-range private aircraft in the world.
The impressive range allows passengers to fly almost anywhere in the world without taking a single stop.
If the jet were to take off from it could fly to any airport across the globe – with the exception of .
And not only can the jet breeze long distance flights it’s spectacular speed means travellers can reach their destinations in record time.
The private jet has a top speed of 570 knots – just shy of the world’s fastest Bombardier Global 8000’s velocity.
And it’s no surprise it goes so quickly as its powered by Rolls Royce engines and features an aerodynamic wing design.
The Gulfstream G800 has three luxurious living areas as well as a dedicated crew compartment for maximum in-flight comfort.
It can seat up to 19 passengers and ten.
Pictures from inside the plane show a carpeted interior fitted with plush leather seats.
And the cabin’s sixteen enormous panoramic oval windows mean that travellers can enjoy the incredible views while they zoom through the sky.
The cabin also boasts high-speed WiFi coverage while in the air.
And what’s more – passengers will feel less tired after flying on G800 compared to others on the market due to its low altitude cabin.
While the plane soars 41,000 feet above the ground the cabin will feel as though it is only at 2,840ft.
Plans for the have been unveiled, with the jumbo jet set to take to the skies in 2030.
Officially calledWindRunner, the colossal aircraftwill be able to carry 12-times more than aBoeing747 – and has one very specific purpose.
WindRunner will clock in at an incredible 356ft – longer than the pitch at– and will be 79ft tall.
The company behind it, Radia, has already been working on the plans for almost a decade.
While it will be a versatile vehicle, the size and shape of WindRunner have been carefully designed to accommodate one specific item: wind turbines.
Wind turbine blades are enormous and incredibly tricky toon roads, and normal planes are too small to handle them.
Some turbine projects have even needed special roads to be laid to get the blades there.
And the blades are expected to get even bigger in the future – possibly growing from 230ft to 330ft.
So, with the help of rocket scientist CEO Mark Lundstrom, the Radia team looked for a solution.
WindRunner will be able to carry whole blades in its cargo space, and fly them right to the construction site.
