BBJ 747 Weights

[Ant87]

Hi,

I was wondering, how would the weight of a privately owned 747 such as the one owned by Prince Al-Waleed differ from that of a commercial 747 flow by BA.

Say it was just carrying him and a few aids 20 people tops. Would the ZFW be really low or would the amount of gold and such in there make it sort of the same?

And if it was so low how would that effect the handling of the aircraft. I'm guessing they were never really designed to fly that empty?

Thanks

Just an idea.
All the wifes, their clothes, makeups and all the other stuff women carries with 'em, would certently bring some heavy pounds into the baggage area

I would bet a rich mans private jet is heavier if you take into account all the marble and gold plated niceties that a rich man needs. Such as Trumps jet..

Seems it is all taking on new proportions.. Apparently mere millionaires need not apply
