the Twitter CEO’s plane, arriving this year , has the largest cabin of any business jet in the world – and 5 different living areas.
In 2018, the Tesla CEO flew the equivalent of more than six times around the world on his G650ER private jet – now he is set to replace it with Luxury private jet G700
The new jet is crammed with luxurious features, from a dining table and double bed, to a bathroom with a leather toilet seat that can even be configured with a shower.
Elon Musk, the 2nd most richest person in the world, is a big fan of private jets – and he just added a new one to his collection.
elon musk recently bought a Gulfstream G700, according to Texas-based news site Austonia, which is expected to replace his Gulfstream G650ER.
The Twitter boss regularly travels by private plane. In 2018, the billionaire flew more than 241,000km (150,000 miles) on his G650ER, according to flight records obtained by The Washington Post – that’s the equivalent of more than six times around the Earth.
According to a report by Austonia, Musk has placed an order for the Gulfstream G700 – one of Gulfstream’s newest jets – with delivery expected in early 2023.
It’s got a price tag of US$78 million.It’s the world’s largest purpose-built private jet.The G700 can seat up to 19 passengers, according to a specification sheet by Gulfstream. The new model is reportedly the “stretched” version of the G650, and aims to rival the Bombardier 7500 in size, according to Bloomberg. It measures 33 metres (109 feet) in length and eight metres (25 feet) in height, according to Gulfstream.
It can fly from Singapore to San Francisco non-stop.The small but mighty G700 has a range of 13,900km (7,500 nautical miles), which means the jet can fly from Singapore in Asia to San Francisco in the US without a stop. The G700 also has a cruising speed of Mach 0.925, according to the aforementioned Gulfstream spec sheet.
According to a May press release by Gulfstream, the G700 flew from Georgia in the US to Geneva, Switzerland in seven hours and 37 minutes at a cruising speed of Mach 0.90. That’s pretty nippy for a small plane.The G700 has the largest cabin among business jets, measuring 17 metres (56 feet and 11 inches) in length, which allows it to have five “living areas”, according to Gulfstream. Its cabin is split into various sections including a lavatory, galley, forward seating, entertainment suite and dining area, the jet’s virtual tour shows.
It has a luxurious stateroom.The stateroom is designed with either a single or double bed, as photos of the G700’s interior show, and its en suite bathroom is one of the jet’s most luxurious features. It has several compartments for toiletries and valuables, a full-length mirror, and a leather-seat toilet, the virtual tour shows.
The G700 can also be customised for the bathroom to be designed with a shower. The G700 also has 20 “wellness boosting” oval shaped windows, which allow ample light to stream into the jet’s interior.
With room for as many as 19 passengers — and enough space to sleep 13 of them, the G700 is one of the larger jets on the market. The Gulfstream G700 I walked through featured a bed and even a shower.The first section of this aircraft featured a pair of club seats that, with a tray table that folds out from the side panel, can be used for meetings, work or dining.These seats can also convert into beds.The armrests feature light and window controls, along with cupholders and wireless Qi charging.The next section of the aircraft featured a divan that can also convert into a bed. The divan features seatbelts, so it can be used for seating during taxi, takeoff and landing.
Across from the divan is an entertainment center that features a TV that folds up.Owners can play whatever they want on the TV — and can even configure their favorite streaming service to use the G700’s Wi-Fi system, which comes standard. This particular aircraft was configured for Apple TV.For those who’d like a drink while enjoying a movie, there’s wine storage inside the entertainment center.The next section is more seating with built-in tables and with three seats across, fitting a total of six passengers.
The toilet seat is designed to also be used as a seat in tandem with a vanity mirror.The sink area includes plenty of mirrors and storage. This aircraft features a white countertop finish — but an owner would have many bespoke options to choose from.Like just about everything else, the galley is also customizable.This aircraft featured ovens, a bar and other creature comforts.Owners can even equip the galley with their favorite espresso machine.One of the customizable layouts allows for a lavatory in the forward section of the aircraft, in addition to the aft — allowing for complete privacy for those who are lucky enough to be able to use the stateroom.
