Have you ever heard of a private plane that can fly near the sound speed? Not only is it fast, it is more luxurious than a five-star hotel presidential suite。
What's the magic of this plane that's making the technologists feel for it
Imagine you're sitting on a private plane that can fly 1142 km an hour, flying from beijing to new york for hours. It's not a scene in a science-fiction movie, it's a reality brought about by gulfstream g 700。
Recently, the amazon founder, bezos, spent 570 million yuan on a private aircraft called "air ferrari". Well, that's the "happiness of rich people, we can't imagine."
Bezos' new toy: baystream g700
Bezos' baystream g 700 this time is not a normal private plane. It's called one of the largest and most advanced private aircraft in the world
The aircraft was delivered on 10 july 2024 with registration no. 11af. It sounds ordinary. Don't be fooled by the appearance. It's $80 million in the air mansion
The performance of the gulfstream g700 is completely reverse: the maximum range is approximately 14,000 km, with a maximum speed of 0. 925 mhz. What concept? That means it can fly at speeds near the sound speed up to 1142 kilometres per hour
At this speed, even the lightning man needs to get down. But we're just gonna have to feel the "flying feeling" on the subway。
Internal configuration: extravagant and obscenity
If the gulfstream g700 looks amazing, then its internal configuration is a disgrace. The aircraft is 33. 48 metres long and 7. 75 metres high and can accommodate up to 19 passengers。
Internal spaces are divided into five living areas, including toilets, kitchens, front seats, recreational suites and dining areas. There is also a principal room and a suite, which can even choose a single or double bed configuration。
It's a lot more luxurious than some hotel's presidential suite! Imagine, at 30,000 feet high, you're enjoying ricewood-grade food, and then you're lying in a posh bed looking at the stars above the clouds。
It's not like people can't help but scream, "it's good to have money!" but for us moonlights, it's probably only in economy class。
The technology giant's new pet: masco's here to make a scene
Interestingly, it's not just bezos who's so special about this plane. It was reported that tesla ceo mask had also ordered a gulfstream g700。
It seems that this aircraft has become a new identity symbol in the circles of tech giants. I wonder if mask saw bezos buy it and didn't feel weak
The "arms race" between these two technologists is quite a sight! For us ordinary people, however, there may not even be a chance to look at such aircraft。
Maybe we can only experience flying in the game. Who made us not "marsk"? It's only "mascian"
Bezos aircraft collection: over $200 million
Don't think that's all bezos takes. According to jetspy, bezos also owns the first two of the gulfstream g7000: g650 and pilatus pc-24。
With this new purchase of gulf stream g700, the total value of the private aircraft collection in bezos has exceeded $200 million. It's a collection that even some countries' air forces are ashamed of
Imagine bezos' hangar full of "airhouses." it's a small airport. I don't know if he's in trouble every morning: "who's on a plane to work today?"
And we ordinary people may even have to take a wallet to choose whether to take a subway or a bus. So this is probably called "poverty limits my imagination"
Environmental issues: the luxury of rich people is controversial
However, this luxurious lifestyle has also given rise to some controversy. Data from jetspy show that the new bezos aircraft flew 28 times in 39 days, releasing 264 tons of carbon dioxide。
This is about 17 times the annual emissions of ordinary americans. Looks like the "rich man tax" didn't come for nothing! Some might say, "isn't it a little too much luxury?"
From the point of view of bezos, when your net assets amount to $203 billion, $80 million to buy a plane, it might be like buying a new cell phone。
But we've got to get a new phone for a long time, and bezos's getting a plane might be a "stand-in" thing. It's probably "the rich world. We don't get it."
Private jets: technology giants' essentials
As the technology industry flourishes, private aircraft appear to have become a model for technology giants. Besides bezos and mask, other technology companies have their own ceos。
These aircraft are not only their means of transport, but also a symbol of their identity and status. For ordinary people, however, this luxurious way of life may never be more than a distant dream。
Who says we can't dream? Maybe one day we can get on a private plane like this and look over the face of the earth. Until then, let's be honest and squeeze the coach
Or we can experience flying in the game. After all, in the virtual world, we can be bezos or mask
The new bezos aircraft is not only a demonstration of the financial resources of the technology giants, but also a reflection of recent developments in aviation technology. While this luxurious way of life may be controversial, it undoubtedly also contributes to advances in aviation technology。
Who knows, perhaps one day, these technologies will allow ordinary people to enjoy faster and more comfortable flight experiences. Until then, let's keep doing our aerial dream
