This Airplane Has a Bloody Balcony






Avro Business Jet Explorer One is the first airplane with a balcony in history. Its creators—BAE and Design Q—say that the "Air Deck" is a first in aviation history. True. It's also the most stupid invention in aviation history. (No offense but if you got money to spend on an airplane you will not mind paying to stay in the best hotel in town.)

What the company said about the airplane is exactly this: "The ‘Air Deck' transforms the rear of the aircraft into the ultimate living space, providing an elevated outdoor viewing deck combined with a luxurious indoor space incorporating a state-of-the-art entertainment system and vast open plan galley."

What they probably meant: This will transform your private jet into a flying luxury caravan. Your stupid. And yes, there's no question that it looks pretty and spacious, but why would anyone like a private jet with a deck? To have nice views of the runways and the airport before taking off? To be able to sniff the kerosene instead of the complimentary flight blow? Because you can't land this thing in the middle of a mountain. You have to land this on an airport, even if it's a runway in the middle of the African plains.

Finally we can say that if the Avro Business Jet Explorer One was able to land vertically, then it would be perfect. But this way, unless you plan to drive your plane from the airport to the caravan camping, it's Pointless. And sorry if you bought own last Sunday and I just offended you, not may intention at all.

This is pretty crazy. It almost looks awesome, but you're right, I don't know of too many runways/airports I would like to camp out on.
