Elon Musk will become the owner of the world’s largest business jet Gulfstream G700 worth $78 million
Against the background of the entire epic with the purchase of Twitter and the dismissal of employees, Elon Musk’s close purchase of the Gulfstream G700 aircraft was overlooked.
An American billionaire who is the richest man in the world has placed an order for a G700 business jet. The cost is $78 million. It is likely to replace the current Gulfstream G650ER aircraft with a ‘mileage’ of more than 240,000 km.
It is expected that Elon Musk will receive a business jet at his disposal in early 2023. However, delivery may be delayed by 3-6 months due to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reviewing the software.
The Gulfstream G700 is the world’s largest private jet. It has a length of 33.48 meters, a height of 7.75 meters and a wingspan of 31.39 meters. The maximum take-off weight of the G700 is almost 50,000 kg. The business jet has a cabin of 17.35 x 2.49 x 1.91 meters and accommodates up to 19 passengers.
The cruising speed of the Gulfstream G700 is 904 km/h, and the maximum flight range is almost 14,000 km. 1 hour of G700 flight costs almost $9,000.
