Boeing - BBJ 2
Description:
For those of you who need even more space, without leaving any of the comforts of home or office behind, we would like to introduce you to the BBJ 2. Based off of the 737-800, the BBJ 2 has 1,004 sq. ft. of cabin space, so running out of room is just not an option.
Specs:
Passengers: 19 (default)
Lavatory: Full (default)
Maximum Speed: 871 km/h
Maximum Altitude: 41,000 ft.
Range: 5,580nm (default)
Cabin Size: 11’6” (width) x 98’4” (length) x 7’ (height)
Baggage Capacity: 1,200 cu. ft. (default)
The cabin's 1,004ft² floor area can seat up to 78 passengers in addition to an executive lounge and private suite. The BBJ 2 provides a 25% increase in cabin volume and 100% increase in cargo volume over the BBJ I.
Working with an Interior designer, configuration can typically include an executive office, conference rooms, private offices and bedrooms. In addition, staff or family sleeping or seating areas, personal environments can be created for example with a living room, dining room, a master bedroom and bathroom, or two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The flight deck accommodates the pilot and co-pilot and incorporates many features of the Boeing 737-800. The glass cockpit has a Rockwell Collins Flight Dynamics HGS-4000 head up display and six Honeywell flat-panel liquid crystal flight displays. The HGS-4000 has improved low visibility takeoff guidance, runway deceleration cueing and advanced display features. Smiths Industries developed and supplied the dual flight management computers.
The Rockwell Collins Series 90 avionics system is integrated with a dual automatic direction finding (ADF), TCAS II traffic alert and collision avoidance system and a predictive wind shear unit.
Boeing now offers the development of an enhanced vision system (EVS) for the BBJ airframes. The EVS will have multi-wavelength infrared sensors from Max-Viz and will be displayed on the HGS-4000 HUD. Certification of the EVS is planned for early 2008.
Construction
The BBJ 2 is derived from the 737-800 airframe design, which provides improved performance in terms of higher range and speed, lower noise levels and lower emissions than previous members of the Boeing 737 family.
The fuselage is of fail-safe aluminum structure. The aluminum alloy wings and the tail plane are of dual path fail-safe two-spar structure. The wings have Aviation Partners blended winglets to provide reduced air turbulence, therefore increasing fuel mileage, range and altitude capability.
Weight saving has been achieved through the use of composite materials, with graphite, Kevlar and carbon reinforced plastics for the ailerons, elevators and rudder.
Engines
The aircraft has two CFM56-7B27 turbofan engines developed by CFM International. The engines are rated at 27,300lb st thrust. The wing tanks hold 26,025l of fuel. Additionally three to seven fuel tanks can bring the total maximum fuel capacity to 39,531l.
The Boeing Business Jet Company provides maintenance and warranty agreements with 24-hour customer support worldwide. Routine parts are provided by a next-day shipment service and a two-hour shipment for airplane-on-the-ground (AOG) orders.
