Boeing launches business jet capable of world's longest flight

I'd rather see the R&D effort spent on faster travel, not longer travel.
I agree. Airplanes aren't going any fast than they did 60 yrs ago. It's miserable for the pilots sitting for so long.
I am not sure if I could afford that quite yet.
The media should be careful about which airplane is being shown in pictures on this story. A B-737 won't do it, neither will the Gulfstream or the Global Express. The 777x most probably will and it won't be configured with 300 seats. This is for the few and wealthiest.
VIP pax don't usually pay per seat. Their companies do. That said, we converted several Bae146 to VIP service, by removing the center seats, adding mini fridges and increasing fuel capacity to allow the jets 3900km range.
Need edit key: Further removing every other row and adding 30 inch leather seats. What had been 100 seats, now was 28 luxury seating. No seats on exit rows.
