Airbus has recieved its first private order for an A380, the massive double-decker jumbo. The $300 million plane will be going to an unnamed Middle Eastern head of state who will be spending at least an additional $100 million on the interior.
The jet interior designers will be creating The Flying Palace, a plane with two dining areas, a 600-plus-square-foot master bedroom, game room and an Arabian desert-themed lounge with curtains that resemble tents and a fiber-optic mosaic of a shifting desert scene. What is most intriguing is the plan to create a whirlpool tub on the plane. The tub is designed in such a way that it can rapidly drain into the cargo hold if necessary.
