Boeing BBJ

In 1996 the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) introduced the world to the very concept of a VIP airliner, providing a robust platform with the space and payload of commercial aircraft as a canvas for creating the ultimate private jet. The BBJ combines the fuselage of the 737-700 commercial airliner with the strengthened wings and landing gear from the larger and heavier 737-800, resulting in an incredibly rugged and long-legged alternative to Gulfstream’s GV and Bombardier’s Global Express with 3-10 additional fuel tanks offering truly global range of 6,200 nm. The BBJ is powered by the same CFM56-7 engines found on the 737-700 commercial jetliner, offering a max cruise speed of 0.82 Mach (550 miles per hour), while the interior can accommodate a variety of configurations with space for conference rooms; executive offices; and individual work, rest and exercise areas that exactly match a customer's personal work and travel preferences.
