0:00 - Intro
This is the Boeing BBJ 777X, a luxurious private jet variant of the commercial Boeing 777X airliner that represents a paradigm shift in the private aviation sector. Priced at $426 million, this flying mansion offers a level of space, comfort, and capability that surpasses anything previously available on the market, and today, we’re going inside it.

0:25 - Cabin
As one boards the aircraft, the first impression is of its impressive size. The BBJ 777-9 is touted as the world's longest airliner. A collaboration with Lufthansa Technik and other companies like Greenpoint Technologies, Jet Aviation, and Unique Aircraft Design, the cabin design represents a fusion of traditional Middle Eastern aesthetics and modern luxury.
The first section one encounters is a spacious reception area, elegantly appointed and designed to make guests feel welcomed and at ease. This area leads to a series of conference rooms, designed to facilitate business meetings in the sky. Equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, these rooms are ideal for conducting business or brainstorming sessions.
Next, the cabin features an exclusive section for officials and delegates, ensuring a high level of privacy. Here, comfortable seating, serene ambience, and productivity-focused features allow for work, rest, or entertainment, depending on the occupants' preferences. The cabin also includes a special window shade system that not only regulates natural light but also provides stunning panoramic views of the world below.
A highlight of the cabin is the private bedroom, designed for the ultimate in onboard comfort. The bedroom, which can be expanded for enhanced functionality, features a queen-sized bed, fine linens, and a soothing colour palette. It also features a private en-suite bathroom complete with a shower and dual sinks, bringing the conveniences of a luxury hotel suite into the sky.
Beyond these personal spaces, the BBJ 777X offers communal areas such as spacious lounges and dining rooms, designed to facilitate socializing, relaxation, and entertainment. Customized lighting and transparent OLED screens create an immersive experience, with the ability to alter the mood or display flight information, movies, or virtual landscapes.
When it comes to dining, the experience on the BBJ 777X rivals that of any high-end restaurant on the ground. A state-of-the-art galley supports the preparation of gourmet meals, which can be enjoyed in the elegantly appointed dining room.
The plane is also equipped with an advanced inflight entertainment system and Wi-Fi connectivity to keep passengers entertained and connected throughout their journey.

3:40 - Cockpit
The cockpit of the BBJ 777X is equipped with large glass touchscreen displays, a step-up from the traditional LCD screens seen in previous models. These displays are user-friendly and offer a plethora of flight information at the pilots' fingertips, enhancing situational awareness and helping reduce pilot workload.
An innovative feature of the cockpit is the wingtip control knob, which allows pilots to fold and unfold the wingtips as required.
From the cockpit, the pilots have an unparalleled level of control and insight into engine performance. High-definition cameras provide real-time visual feed of the engines.

5:40 - Engine and Performance
Talking about performance, the BBJ 777X is powered by massive GE9X engines that produce 110,000 lbs of thrust, the most fuel-efficient engines General Electric has ever produced. This choice results in 10% lower fuel consumption and emissions, translating to lower operating costs.
In terms of technology, the BBJ 777X benefits from advancements in aerodynamics, as well as comfort innovations borrowed from the 787 Dreamliner.
The aircraft has a maximum speed of 560 knots, a maximum range of 8,745 nautical miles, which is 10,060 miles or 16,190 kilometers for the BBJ 777-8, and a maximum range of 7,285 nautical miles, which is 8,380 miles or 13,500 kilometers for the BBJ 777-9, making them capable of ultra-long-range flights. And finally, the maximum net payload is 162,000 lbs or 73,500 kg.
