Introduction:
• Business jet, private jet or Bizjet is a term describing a jet aircraft, usually
of smaller size, designed for transporting groups of up to 19 business
people or wealthy individuals.
• Business jets may be adapted for other roles, such as the evacuation of
casualties or express parcel deliveries, and some are used by public bodies,
government officials or the armed forces.
Background:
• An early business jet had 4 engines, some of them built now have 2-3. The
emerging market has seen the introduction of several single engine designs
as well.
• Almost all business jets have rear-mounted engines, because the wing is
too near the ground for engines to be slung underneath it. Airliners are
sometimes converted into luxury business jets. Such converted aircraft are
often used by celebrities with a large entourage or press corps, or by sports
teams.
• There are approximately 11,000 business jets in the worldwide fleet with
the vast majority of them based in the United States or owned by US
companies. The European market is the next largest, with growing activity
in the Middle East, Asia, and Central America.
Classes:
