Inside the 'flying penthouse' for the wealthy to travel

The $75 million Dassault Falcon 10X private jet is dubbed the "penthouse in the sky" for its luxurious design.

When French firm Dassault unveiled the flying penthouse at the Paris Air Show in June, viewers were enthralled by its design features, including a spacious cabin measuring 203cm high. The plane can travel 12,000km and has a top speed of more than 1,100km/h.

The plane has a bedroom, bathroom with shower, and living area. The bathroom is at the back and is said to be "more like a hotel bathroom than an airplane". The bathroom space has enough space for passengers to sit and enjoy the view from the window. Marble flooring adds to the luxury.

The bedroom is 276cm wide, with a wide bed that was described as "much more comfortable than a business-class hotel room". At the foot of the bed is a large-screen TV placed on a long wooden table.

Past the bedroom is the main seating area, which also doubles as a reception area. This cabin holds eight airplane seats with fold-down tables large enough to accommodate a computer, workbooks, or a meal. There are several buttons next to the seats, including two light switches and a flight attendant call button.

Next is the galley, where food and drinks are prepared with a small sink and counter for drinks, glasses and a coffee maker, two ovens. The pilot's cockpit is at the front of the plane.

Dassault said the cockpit uses a digital flight control system with integrated military technology. The vision system also incorporates the Falcon Eye feature, which gives the aircraft the ability to operate "in near-zero visibility conditions."

The price for passengers to use this service on the plane has not been announced.
