Your Private Boeing 787

[DexterCornelius96]

I want one of those.

[Racture]

i think the model shown in the video costs a fortune.... can't imagine how much is the real deal... hehe

[altonmarsh]

@Racture Correct. If you consider $80,000 to $90,000 a fortune, and I do, then it did cost a fortune. The company won't say what it actually costs, but I found someone familiar with models like this.

[parapatangos]

mine is better!!!

[vic70cent]

wow!!



[BOB2112420]

I bet this jet would cost several million$/year just for fuel and maintenance.

[altonmarsh]

@BOB2112420 You'll need $62,000 to move this puppy from New York to San Francisco, but you can take hundreds of friends.

[PakaBubi]

i wonder how much the model cost was,,,,

[altonmarsh]

@PakaBubi That's a good question. In the thousands, for sure.

[altonmarsh]

@PakaBubi Sorry it took so long to get back to you. The company won't say what the actual cost of the model was, but I have one source suggesting it is somewhere between $80,000 and $90,000.

[fatcrewz]

@altonmarsh does it fly to the moon?

[FreddyDrifter]

Big piece of sardine carrier. Slow as molasses. What's great about it? Just another old and outdated airliner that is not capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Great for the airlines, they make more money by putting more people on it - bad for passengers as it takes longer to board and is not faster than older planes. Junk.

[CaptainFantastic777]

@FreddyDrifter You really must feel for the wall before you get out of bed in the morning.

[cbernier3]

@FreddyDrifter You aren't very bright. This plane is great for passengers. This is the most advanced plane in the world. This plane is made from carbon fiber. The air on board will be at higher humidity and higher pressure. This will make a much more comfortable flight. The plane is more fuel efficient which means lower ticket prices. They can't make faster planes. Faster planes are not allowed to fly over land and they cost too much in fuel that no one can afford to fly on them.

[TheTopBloke]

The 2012 Pipe Dream model. Excellent.

[xXxM4A1xXx08]

@altonmarsh pshhhhhhhh, those are lame, ill be paying in cash

[serratop]

Is there some toilet paper included in the 330 000 000?

[coleparsons1]

I'm One of those few people!!! JK

[DfFuse]

do you take cash?

[JediSithHalo32]

What I also want to know is how people would brace and where if there was an emergency. And I want to know where the owner would store it while not flying

[altonmarsh]

@JediSithHalo32 I would suggest people hide under the beds in an emergency. As for storage, this is probably never going to be bought, just leased. So the real owner would have hangars for it between trips. Several similar airliners operate out of Switzerland as needed.

[toranamunter]

@JediSithHalo32 there are designated seats for takeoff and landing, which meet the required safety regulations. The cabin crew would instruct you to return to those seats if there is turbulence or an emergency. These aircraft can be parked anywhere, almost all airports offer long term parking or even hangarage. It depends how much you want to spend :-) This aircraft will cost a minimum $USD10,000 per day to insure and park. That's only when it's not flying- flying it costs more. A LOT more :-) 

[FSXkid11]

Dear Santa...

[MrToaster747]

787!!!!



[sketchyinc]

@ahmeaeaead This model alone probably costs more than a 2009 Corolla, lol!

[altonmarsh]

@ahmeaeaead Why go through the hassle of selling the Corolla? It's obviously an even trade.

[bomerman104]

@altonmarsh where can i sell my arms legs and soul to get money for this plane

[AtlantaITGirl]

@bomerman104 i thinking selling ones soul would be good enough. hell, not even everyones soul is worth enough to buy this. SMH~

[laqueenjonair71]

hahaha..yes..where is the kitchen??lol

[MountainDew672]

cool vids more please

[TennesseeMX]

Nerver any american carrier will use that configuration for their planes... usually they are into to Greyhound Configuration.... eewww! This is the the reason the success of foreign airlines....

[bg11215]

If it comes in cashmere-beige I am so getting one.

[XxSniper94scooperxX]

Where is the kitchen ?????

[altonmarsh]

@XxSniper94scooperxX Very good question. I simply don't see one. I'll see these folks again in early October and point that out.

[l3v14]

@XxSniper94scooperxX yeah and where is the crew's room/cabin? Do they take a rest on one of those couches?

[pettyofficer30]

I would live in it and It, and the plane would never have to leave the ground.

[altonmarsh]

@pettyofficer30 In that case you could leave off all the electronics in the cockpit and the engines and save millions. Affordable!

[keiko909]

@pettyofficer30 too rite...and the house warming party would be off the chain ahahahaha!

[officialofawesumness]

Dear Santa,

[cool13q]

is there only one bedroom?

[altonmarsh]

@cool13q There are two--one up front with two single beds and a shower across a narrow hallway.

[Mustkill3]

I wounder what happens when turbelance happins all the stuff is just going to go flying

[razgriz786]

@Mustkill3 do you seriously think that this didn't hit them when they were making this airplane? lol

well what they did is they took some technology from B-2 bomber that kinda reduce the "shaking" from turbulence. i have no idea what its called but thats all i know.

[DJSONICMUSIC]

" when you only can afford a 757"

haha

[wowgabber123]

lwt there pls be a gold mine in my backyard

[duncstuful]

My goodness-are we really supposed to admire this tacky thing?

[MrTOYmachine27]

the first flying house that cost millions

[thestig747]

I am so buying that, can anyone loan me $300 million???? :P

[MrBdt2002]

i have a private 787 like that

[Cajunninja65]

maybe by the year 2050 buying one of these will be like buying an RV...

[altonmarsh]

@Cajunninja65 How true. 

[nathanfishing3000]

that looks like future air force one not kidding

[altonmarsh]

@nathanfishing3000 In January 2009 "Aviation Week" (where I once worked as a reporter) said that Boeing was the only contender for the new Air Force One and was considering both the 787 and 747-8.

[Sundaybmxmag]

where are the seats you sit down in for takeoff and landing?

[altonmarsh]

@Sundaybmxmag Excellent question. The seats need to be forward facing, right? There are few of those.

[SuperEd311]

@altonmarsh you can sit in a rear facing seat for take offs and landings. tons of small private jets have them forward, rear, and side facing

[altonmarsh]

@SuperEd311 I don't think you can be in a side-facing seat for takeoff and landing.

[SuperEd311]

@altonmarsh yeah you can. any time I'm in a private jet, there is always a side facing sofa and ppl can sit there.

[worldspottingexhibit]

Air Force one could use one of those ;)

[XboxBasherAvailable]

I want one.....

[TheSuperkyleman]

i also wish i could afford such beauty.... but there is a reason god put us on this earth.....and that reason will soon be discovered..

[RANDOMNESS873]

dear santa.....

[MajorWales]

But will it blend?

[altonmarsh]

@MajorWales I'm willing to bet there is a blender in the bar area.

[10171981]

@altonmarsh after seeing ALL OF THAT all you notice is the blender in the bar area......drunk lol

[Rolo6331]

Its basically a airplane that u can bring a lot of visitors or make a party with close friends while flying... a unique experience!!!:))

[m1r3o]

Where's the kitchen?

[kevini15]

Is that in Germany?

[altonmarsh]

@kevini15 The interior work is done by a German company, as you noticed, but anyone can hire them to outfit an airliner. The model was shown at the National Business Aviation Association convention in Orlando.

[TheA319pilot]

man: hey wanna' come over to my place?

woman: yer, sure!

(a bit later)

Woman: why we at the airport?

man: this is my place :D

:O!

[tommy8556277]

Dear Santa...

[rickcain2320]

Capitalism! Allocating resources efficiently since 1787

[plutocuteguy]

and how much would that be...?

[altonmarsh]

@plutocuteguy I did ask. As I recall, the airplane would be about $270 million, but you'll need $60 million more to paint it and put in the interior. So...about $330 million.

[Encrylius]

Ahhh Sweet a Private 787... ShotGun!

[legoable1]

I TOLD THEM NOT TO HAVE THE COUCH iN FRONT OF THE TV! AND WHY IS THERE ONE BATHROOM? nag! nag! nag!

[desmond210560]

the presidents is bigger

[usquity]

haaa and the children of latin america die for hungry this airplane is a sin

[nickstr345]

Dear Santa,

All I want for christmas is my own very expensive private 787 im sure that is no truble

P.S It better be transparent!!!!!!!!

[KCBOYZ1307]

I just ordered one!

JK

[rewindablender]

The new Air Force One lol.

[TheFSXFrench]

@123nggers Please tell me your kidding

[altonmarsh]

@TheFSXFrench Not kidding. I hear a couple of completed ones are sitting in Switzerland.

[SilentDeath901]

I thought the point of vacation was the destination not the travel. This changes everything! Get me a ticket! xD

[bengrundy1997]

that is well classy!

[motardkool]

Dammit !!! I asked Boeing NOT to show the version they are building for me.

Now it won' t be a surprise for my friends... :(

[701068]

Yeah, this is really cool and all, but I really like the idea of staterooms (see 0:19). I could possibly see a new, ultra-luxury commercial aircraft layout with real, private rooms with like convertible couches that turn into beds. The only concern would be safety (how to make sure people aren't getting ready to take over the airplane in their rooms).

[hop208]

@juki0h Oh, they know how to have fun with their money. They just don't tell us what they're doing. The King of the UAE has a private plane for himself larger then this. Most rich people buy yachts.

[adalbertomodesusa]

I'm getting one for Christmas!

[kingmarco301]

I think they to go green about ecology come on people petroleum is not infinite.... plus pollution... If you love planet earth THUMPS UP..

[TheRealKeith77]

if its real, its mine (anne and i)

copilot lisapooh

[iloveairfrance]

HEY WAIT WAIT ! WHO THE HELL GAVE THEM THE AUTHORIZATION FOR MODELING MY JET ?

[hearts76100]

Thats marvellous!

[tregino]

its a bit small isn't it

[hyperthreaded]

Soo...is the transparent fuselage included? :-P

[altonmarsh]

@hyperthreaded That's the exhibitionist model.

[scarehorror98]

lol, use rewards1 or that other crap, cheat on it, and then buy it!!!!

[cardude1992]

this awesome. but it doesnt beat the airbus a380 flying palace :)

[DreamRaver25]

i luv boeing and the dreamliner...but is such a large private jet necessary ?? i mean its breathtaking but...really now???

[altonmarsh]

@DreamRaver25 Apparently the idea is that you fly to a country, park and live in the jet, bringing in people for meetings, making the airplane the base of operations for the trip.

[MrEvilBacon]

@DreamRaver25 its not really intended that an individual owns one, although there is no problem with that. however, with my thoughts its mainly for large, wealthy, successful organization/businesses to travel to their clients around the world.

[cbrinzeil]

@DreamRaver25 it's like an enterprise so why you need a building

[deadliveagain]

yea ill take just let me get my 8O MILLION dollars that i DONT HAVE......how about a payment plan lol

[hallnoats4ever]

@deadliveagain were those tv's actually working?

[altonmarsh]

@hallnoats4ever The tiny TVs were LED screens that had a video feed for the display. Since that is how you might use them in flight, they were working.

[aan3]

787 doesn't beat the Airbus! Its like an airplane hangar in its own right. :)

[Bobaklives]

I wish they had found a ridiculous amount of oil in my backyard...

[altonmarsh]

@Bobaklives Google Earth photos actually show a seepage of oil starting in your back yard!

[72246969]

i think my plane is cooler!! i have a great club in it ;)

[legoable1]

Um...anybody else drooling yet?

[ponne951]

Emm I've heard rumors that the 787 will be the new Airforce 1 or 2. Am i just completly wrong?

[altonmarsh]

@ponne951 I'll have to check on that. Another commenter here says it is the 747-8 that will be the next Air Force One.

[ponne951]

@altonmarsh Ah that could be the case, Guess I mixed it up ;)

[altonmarsh]

@ponne951 In January 2009 Aviation Week reported that Boeing was the only contender for the new Air Force One and was considering both the 787 and 747-8. Couldn't find a more recent article for an update of that.

[ponne951]

@altonmarsh Sounds pretty beliveble I'ld say! ;)

[Musicgutbucket]

Air bus A380 better.

[REXXBAILEY]

I WOULD AVE BOUGHT THIS HAD THEY MADE IT BIGGER .

[Raven4hunting]

i wouldn't actually fly this thins around...it would be my house! park that baby is some trees and lets get this party started!

[RonanEtienne]

I want to live on this!

[kentokyo]

Great camera work! Exciting interior!

[altonmarsh]

@Zuwie3 Ten minutes in a two-seat trainer.

[Jesteria78]

I want one with a BBQ, shooting range and a massage parlor, color jet black with the word "Buurrpppzzzzz" on both sides.

[cutedollyme]

if pilot or anyone wants to go to toilet he will to run to the tail of the plane :D

[altonmarsh]

@cutedollyme The crew has separate toilets, and if needed, sleeping quarters in the forward ceiling. Also, a state room in the forward part of the airplane has a full bath with shower.

[jonesboy84]

NICE!!!

[technofreak0007]

Why bother whether it flies or not. I could just live in it.

[abohthlool]

Dear Santa...

[phinboys]

And this can be yours for the one-time low price of $950,000,000!!

[lauriersroses333]

@phinboys hehe,not that much :)

[OnAirAmsterdam]

Is it a bird? Is it an airplane? Is it a helicopter?

IT IS A FLYING HOUSE FTW

[MultiPascal73]

its big like a house....it has got every thing you need to have a beautiful live!

[dLimboStick]

My paycheck was kinda lean this month. Can I put this on layaway?

[ImUrtastyflava]

when will this be out?

and are their any smaller plan's?

and how much is it worth?

[altonmarsh]

@ImUrtastyflava It's available anytime you want to pay for it. Many smaller aircraft can be equipped with luxury interiors, but may not have the width for a bed or shower. It would probably have to be airliner size if you want actual bedrooms, offices, and dining rooms. You can get the airplane for $270 million, but it will be unpainted with no interior. So it needs to go to a shop for an additional $30 million of interior work and exterior paint.

[Redeagle52000]

@altonmarsh The Boeing 737-700 is normally used in "Boeing Business Jet" VIP configuration and has room for an office, 2 bedrooms, shower, you name it. On the other end of the spectrum, Boeing is marketing this, as well as the new Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental (and there are already 8 people wealthy enough for the 747-8 variants!!!). The 747-8i will probably be the next Air Force One several years out, but 8 billionaires will soon have a bigger, newer plane than the President's pair of 747-200s!

[altonmarsh]

@Redeagle52000 Thanks. I have written about the Boeing Business Jets for years, but I didn't realize they could have bedrooms and showers. I also didn't know there are eight 747-8 variants headed for billionaire owners, so I will check that out, along with the information on Air Force One. Thanks!

[Redeagle52000]

@altonmarsh Check out "Ride a Boeing Business Jet" (That's roughly the title...there are several versions of it and it is the Boeing demo version, used by Boeing executives as their own BBJ and also as a demonstrator)...this is a one-bedroom version. But, check out the shot of the bathroom closely ahead of the sitting room...he walks through the plane in flight...and there is a shower with a clear, rounded door in the corner that you have to be looking for. The AF1 742s have HUGE shower/baths.

[Enatbyte]

I want one!

[jainish007]

i want to buy this but there are two reason I'm not buying it:

1). I don't have family big enough that requires B787 and;

2). even if I had big family I can't afford it....

xD!!!

[altonmarsh]

@jainish007 But if you invite some friends into a sort of travel club, and they each kick several million apiece, it would be affordable.

[jainish007]

@altonmarsh hahaha...true!!!

[ussnimitz3666]

This is exactly what I need to survive a zombie acopalypse!

[leparditas]

now rich people can live in the sky

[pornoslut]

holy god thats huggggeee !!! what is that called and do they have those actually made already ???

[altonmarsh]

@pornoslut There are dozens of airliners out there similar to this. Owners generally don't let you know if theirs is exactly like this. They want theirs to be unique in the world--and better than anyone else's.

[hurricane1587]

Saudi prince has private 747, but too small. He has order in for private double deck Airbus A380. Now this plane might have room for a pool.

[infonp]

Hmmm...where's the pool ?

[tuker28]

Nice but Too litlle for me. Next plane please..

[1noble1]

if only i was a billionaire

[eshaw2115]

I only have 4 words for a plane like that...NOT ON MY PAY!

[Dominoes282]

Ugh where's the cupholders?

[altonmarsh]

@Dominoes282 Cupholders are a $1 million option.

[dragm3n]

I dont like the colour.....

[kito265]

Sigh..... I could probably just afford a switch from the control cabin

[Cathaydude]

who would like to spend their whole life living in that plane? i mean just look at it! Theres no kitchen and u can hardly find a pilot! I could get a villa with a nice car and a nice job and i wouldnt need a plane! wel unless i wanted one, but u wont have passengers so i would go off ignoring the 787 and any commercial jetliner. i would only buy learjets, baron, cessna citation.

[stephane171969]

superbe,je passe mon brevet de pilote et j'arrive.....  ou j'achète .

[GORDON49X]

many of the rooms look the same! Some of them I don't see a point in!! And is the cockpit all luxourious!!??

[manifestgtr]

hmm...well someone needs to donate a couple billion dollars to me

[thenick06]

I'd be happy just to have that model lol

[xXShowtubeXx]

Rich people these days....

[Formula1l2010]

WOW you need a navi to find the way to the bathroom!!

[JackBlair2]

If anyone says "This is so expensive!" they have no business looking at this video.

[johnnyinavl]

Ugh, I asked them NOT to show my jet on YouTube.

=-)

[SandpiperN121PP]

What? No swimming pool or hot tub? And where...  just where is the gaming room??? :)

[zeroturbulence]

No, it does have water and sewer/septic tanks. You just have to empty them out and fill the water tanks once in awhile. An external power unit will take care of electricity.

[zeroturbulence]

I would love to live in that thing!

[Kcasymkcil96]

I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I'd fit in that.

[AnnoyingAnderson]

i wouldn't have to buy a house if i had this....

[altonmarsh]

@AnnoyingAnderson You'd need to find a way to hook up water and sewer to the plane. Are there trailer parks for 787s?

[Kraaezkid]

@altonmarsh hahahahahahahaha
