Many of us are aware that the Boeing 777 is one of aviation’s most successful and long-lasting aircraft. If you’ve taken a long-distance flight in the last two decades, you’ve most likely travelled on a 777. Crystal Skye’s Boeing 777-200LR offers a “private air cruise experience.” When it comes to air travel, this is the crème de la crème. Chartering the Crystal Skye costs $50,000 per hour. The opulent charter jet features a bar with mixologist, a dining room, and a passenger cabin with 88 business-class seats. In essence, flying aboard the Crystal Skye is similar to taking a cruise.

The Green Airways Flying Saucer
Production Company: CleanEra
Feature: Eco-Friendly and Lightweight
EST. Cost of Production: Unknown
You may associate flying saucers with science fiction, but these devices appear to be useful for environmentally friendly air travel. This flying saucer, designed in the Netherlands for the CleanEra project, is seen as the environmentally beneficial plane of the future. The cylindrical, winged body of the saucer employs lighter materials and even propellers to use less fuel. Airline firms can satisfy environmental goals by reducing weight. Though we doubt we’ll see CleanEra flying saucers in the sky, the project’s ideas (such as lighter weight and propellers) may be adopted by other major plane manufacturers looking to make their aircraft more environmentally friendly.
