Boeing’s third generation 747 commercial jet, the 747-8, is the world’s
longest passenger jet.
The massive wide-body jet airliner can carry more than
450 passengers in a cabin 20 feet wide and more than 200 feet long. There are
even reports that the next Air Force One will be based on a Boeing 747-8.
Meanwhile, a company named Greenpoint Technologies, based in Kirkland,
Washington, has rolled out a first-of-its kind 747-8 with a completely
customized VIP interior. Built for an undisclosed private owner, Greenpoint
took three long years to complete the jet. Using the massive space of the
aircraft as a blank canvas, the company turned the $368 million Boeing 747-8
into a flying mega-yacht.
Greenpoint has released few details about it, declining to name the
client or provide photos of the finished product. Instead, they have released
some conceptual digital renderings that suggest what the interior might be
like, showing a dining room, two spacious lounge areas, a master bedroom suite,
a guest bedroom, and office space. The project was completed in December last
year and though Greenpoint refused to disclosed how much its client paid for
the interior work, however, according to reports, the owner spent in excess of
$250 million to customize the 747-8.
