BBJ quick walk through

Nice jet.

This unit (as mentioned earlier) is a Boeing corporate demo unit, so nothing to do with NetJets. I'm an aviation and technology buff and (private) pilot. No financial involvement with Boeing... just like to pull for the "home team." :)

This is on Netjets right??? Do you fly/work on this plane or are you just a fan??

if a had a private jet i would stay for the duration of the flight in the cockpit. screw the luxury staff

lol

Reminds me of the reply from an early 777 Captain a few years ago. I asked him how far above ground he was when he HAD to take the controls to land. He grinned. "Zero feet," he said. We now land just to maintain proficiency. The plane can land itself as good if not better than us. And NOW, we're about to see both Boeing and the forthcoming G6 with a 3D situational awareness display (with HUD?), updated in real time by RADAR, satellite (GPS) and topo maps. Yeah, I love this stuff.

I wonder, since a BBJ doesn't need as much cargo space as an ordinary passenger jet, whether it would be possible to lower the deck and get more usable space in the cabin. -jcr

You've already got the max floor space by design. The floor is almost exactly at the widest point of the fuselage "tube" so all that you could possibly gain is headroom. Since you've got 7'2" of that now, there'd be little cost/benefit. NOW that said, there HAS been talk of designing the 787 VIP config WITH a "downstairs" that could conceivably carry a (small) car, stable or kennel. Thanks for all comments. Nice to meet fellow enthusiasts!

You can see the same aircraft flying in youtube with a family full of kids, from east cost to hawaii, so funny they made the business BBJ look so familiar, very nice. Maybe they are Boeing executives with relatives. check it out from boeing business Jet BBJ. Tks for posting it.

i dont think it's the same aircraft. It's just netjets which have severval identical bbj's. All their aircraft are identical
