and over 84 BBJ aircraft are in service worldwide. The BBJ has accumulated more
than 90,000 flight hours. Two BBJs are in service with the Royal Australian Air
Force, one with the government of South Africa and three with the Abu Dhabi Amiri
Flight. In July 2005, one BBJ of the US Air Force was delivered to the Columbian
government for presidential and VIP transport.
The BBJ can fly more than 6,000 nautical miles non-stop, for example Johannesburg
to London or Los Angeles to Paris and provides interior space nearly three times lar-
ger than other comparable long range executive jets. In April, 2002, a BBJ flew a re-
cord 6854nm from Seattle, USA to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at an average cruise speed
of 0.78 Mach. In May 2004, the BBJ became the first non-commercial aircraft to
cross the North Atlantic using Future Air Navigation System (FANS) technology.
FANS rationalises communication between airplane crews and air-traffic controllers,
providing greater safety and fuel efficiency.
CABIN
The spacious 807ft² cabin can be customised to meet individual or business require-
ments for 8 to 149 passengers. The interior configuration installed by completion cen-
tres with interior designers can include an executive office, conference rooms, private
offices and bedrooms. Personal environments can be created for example with a liv-
ing room, dining room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Fresh air is constantly circulated throughout the cabin. There are two temperature
control zones for the passengers and crew.
The BBJ is self-sufficient at airports with reduced ground support and limited facili-
ties. The aircraft has built-in airstairs and easily loaded cargo holds.
CONSTRUCTION
Boeing Commercial Airplanes with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, provides the
aircraft to Boeing Business Jets, which delivers them in a green configuration (no
paint or interior) to the completion centre selected by the customer for interior instal-
lation and painting.
The design of the fuselage is based on that of the proven Classic 737-700 combined
with the centre section, strengthened aft section, wings and landing gear of the 737-
800.
Optional winglets from Aviation Partners Inc yield a typically 5% increase in range
through an up to 7% reduction in the turbulence-induced drag at the wingtips.
FLIGHT DECK
The glass cockpit incorporates many features of the Boeing 777 cockpit. The cockpit
is being fitted with a Rockwell Collins Flight Dynamics HGS-4000 head up display
and six Honeywell flat-panel liquid crystal flight displays. The HGS-4000 has im-
proved low visibility takeoff guidance, runway deceleration cueing and advanced
display features. The flight deck includes an integrated dual global positioning sys-
tem and a flight management system based on dual flight management computers
supplied by Smiths Industries. The main instrument panel is equipped with six Hon-
eywell flat panel liquid crystal displays.
