Billionaire Donald Trump recently put his luxury jet up for sale. This Boeing 727-100 Executive, is stationed in Annapolis, Maryland and its selling price is available upon request only. The luxurious jet was made in 1968 and has over 41,833 hours of flying since then. It is said to be in excellent condition, and had several upgrades over the years.

The engines were reconditioned around  2006 and 2007 with a brand new paint job done recently. Trump demands the best in everything so of course this Jet has all the best!

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud spent $485 million on the custom Airbus A380, with interior and amenities designed by British firm Design Q.

The plane usually seats 600, but lots of room had to be cleared for various perks. Naturally, there’s an on-board garage, so that the prince can be driven right to the threshold of of the airplane’s elevator. After arrival, he can retire to his master suite–one of five with king-size beds, and computer generated prayer mats which always face Mecca (one must always be humble); up to 20 extra-guests have to make due in sleepers that are the equivalent of first class.

But the real insanity begins elsewhere on the plane’s three floors: There’s a concert hall that seats ten and has a baby grand piano; a boardroom with a holographic projector; and a full-size steamroom. The most entertaining perk is a “Wellbeing Room” which has a floor upon which is projected an enormous image of what the plane is flying over–thus creating a “magic carpet” effect.

Luxury aircraft: From LA to NY in just over two hours? Very soon, you and 11 of

your closest friends or business partners will be able to do just that. The QSST by

Supersonic Aerospace International is a supersonic business jet that is expected to

revolutionize the aviation industry upon its arrival. The 12-seat luxury aircraft, which is

formally known as the Quiet Supersonic Transport, will be the only jet that is capable of

flying at supersonic speed over populated continental areas. Imagine all airplanes flying

nearly twice the distance in the same amount time, and the significance of the QSST

taking flight is a palpable event of positive impact. It is a major step toward quiet

supersonic flights becoming commonplace worldwide.

Supersonic Aerospace International commissioned Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works design team to build the

QSST, because it is among the most experienced in aircraft design and production. The team responsible for

the aerodynamic advancements that could lead to all aircraft flying at supersonic speed is also the developer

other precedent-setting aircraft. Skunk Works is the builder of one of the first business jets, Jetstar, the SR-71,

the F-117 Stealth Fighter, and the F/A-22 Raptor.

The QSST will travel between Mach 1.6 and Mach 1.8. Mach 1 is 768 mph; so the maximum cruising speed

of the business jet will be as fast as 1,188 mph. While it is not quite as fast as the Concorde, its sonic boom

is 99 percent quieter or 1/100 of the boom generated by the Concorde. Due to its limited usage and

cost-ineffectiveness, the Concorde was officially retired from service in November 2003.

According to SAI, the sound heard from ground level made by the QSST flying overhead is equivalent to that

of a car passing by. The sound reduction occurs due to increasing the ration of length to wingspan. T

he boom itself is longer but substantially less audible. Skunk Works spent six years and more $40 million

in bringing its patented sonic-boom-suppression technology to fruition. In 2010 the engine of the QSST will

be selected from one of three bidding manufacturers. The engine will be produced either by General Electric,

Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls-Royce.

The supersonic-aircraft project with Skunk Works began in 2001.The QSST will be flight ready in 2014

and available for customers by 2016. Along with being in compliance with current and anticipated sound

and environmental regulations, the size of the QSST will enable it to be use most major airports worldwide.

The price of a Quiet Supersonic Transport business jet will be around $80 million. For more information,

Gulfstream presented the first example of its ultra-large G650 Tuesday in front of about 7,000 people at its plant in Savannah, Ga., and announced the program is on schedule with first deliveries planned for 2012. The aircraft has been spotted several times in recent weeks as it underwent engine start and low-speed taxi tests. The rollout on Tuesday presumably marks the beginning of the flight test program, although no date has been announced for a first flight. The rollout comes about two months after Cessna announced it was shelving its large-cabin Columbus intercontinental jet. “Simply put, the Gulfstream G650 is in a class by itself,” said Joe Lombardo, the executive vice president of General Dynamics’ aerospace group.

Embattled bank JPMorgan Chase, the recipient of $25 billion in TARP funds, is going ahead with a $138 million plan to buy two new luxury corporate jets and build “the premier corporate aircraft hangar on the eastern seaboard” to house them, ABC News Has reported. The financial giant’s upgrade includes nearly $120 million for two Gulfstream 650 planes and $18million for a lavish renovation of a hangar at the Westchester Airport outside New York City.

A public hearing will be held by Westchester County officials tonight regarding JPMorgan’s request for new hangar space.
According to JPMorgan Chase architects, the new hangar will be built with reclaimed wood, quarry tile and even a “vegetated roof garden.”
The Gulfstream 650’s are described by the manufacturer as the “fastest,” “widest” and “most comfortable” private jet ever with superior cabin amenities, an optional stateroom, and 12 interior designs to choose from.
