1. What is the capacity of a business jet/private jet?
It all depends on the type of aircraft. Broadly speaking, it is from 1 to 50 people. Every kind of business jet has its own recommendations. Thus, according to aviation regulations, the maximum capacity of a long-haul business jet is 19 passengers. On average, a private plane can accommodate from 6 to 13 people.
2. Is it possible to transport large luggage, sports equipment?
3. How can I get infected with coronavirus, and what kind of infection is it?
The new coronavirus is one of the respiratory viruses transmitted by airborne droplets. The spread of infection occurs through saliva and nasal discharge during sneezing and coughing. The virus enters the body through the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth. All business aviation aircraft are equipped with modern air purification systems, which significantly reduce the possibility of infection during the flight. Also, the aircraft is thoroughly treated with disinfectants after each flight.
5. What is the average age of business jets?
The aircraft’s service life does not depend on the time of its use but on the number of sealing cycles. The technical condition of any plane is affected by the pressure to which the fuselage is exposed every time the liner flies. The more often an airplane makes flights, the more its metal suffers, and cracks may appear. If the aircraft is used exclusively for long flights, its service life may exceed 20 years.
6. Which commercial airport is considered the busiest in the world?
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta is exactly such an international airport. Its daily passenger traffic is more than 260 thousand passengers. Almost 1 million takeoffs and landings are made here every year. 95 million – such a number of passengers were transported from this airport in 2012.
7. There are concepts of aerophobia and acrophobia. What do they mean?
As statistics show, only 20% of people are not afraid to fly by aircraft.
While aerophobia is a fear of flying by airplane, acrophobia is a fear that can manifest itself in a large number of cases concerning altitude. People with this phobia may be afraid of anything related to height. So, some feel fear when they look out the window on the 15th floor, while others may be afraid of heights, even standing on an ordinary stepladder.
8. Why are planes given names?
It has been practiced for a long time, and the exact reasons have been lost over time. However, it is known that the very first aircraft had a nickname, which was invented based on its registration call signs. Russian commercial companies have the opportunity to give names to each plane and actively use this opportunity.
9. Why do liners, including business jets, have curved wingtips?
These parts of the wings are called wingtips. Their purpose is to reduce turbulence near the wing. On some liners, the ends can reach 2.5 meters in length.
10. What are the differences and advantages of business aviation?
Those who value their time prefer to use the services of business aviation. A business jet is a comfortable aircraft, the interior of which resembles an office. There is everything not only for recreation but also for work: comfortable tables and armchairs, a shower room, real beds. A business person will find everything necessary for work onboard. Telephony, TV, as well as the Internet, are provided there for this purpose. Meals on board are organized, taking into account any wishes and preferences of passengers. Absolute confidentiality, maximum security, as well as a high level of service – business aviation guarantees all these standards to its customers.
