According to the aircraft’s official website, the Gulfstream G700 boasts panoramic oval windows, 100 per cent fresh air which is replenished every two to three minutes, high-speed wifi, relaxing seats which can be converted into ergonomic beds, and many more amenities. The aircraft manufacturers also claim to use cutting-edge sustainability technology — aerodynamic wings combined with Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, and electronic systems that support fuel-efficient flight. Additionally, the aircraft can accommodate up to 13 passengers at a time.
Interestingly, Jeff Bezos was one of the first billionaires to acquire the Gulfstream G700, after the first two that hit the market were purchased by Qatar Airways, according to Business Insider. The report further mentions that billionaire Elon Musk has also ordered a Gulfstream G700 and is yet to receive it.
