Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos might be rival space cowboys but besides being billionaire entrepreneurs, they also have a shared love for an American-made private jet known as the Gulfstream G650ER.

The typical Qatar Executive passenger bypasses the commercial terminal and is chauffeured right up to their awaiting airplane. Jets in the Qatar Executive fleet also include the Bombardier Global 5000 and Global XRS.A total of 13 passengers can be seated in the 46-foot and 10-inch G650ER cabin that's divided into three living areas.Two pairs of club seats comprise the first living area for a total of four seats, each with its own window.

The oval windows are Gulfstream's largest at 28 inches wide, enabling truly expansive views without having to crane one's next.Next came the true test of the aircraft's capabilities: takeoff. Passengers were warned beforehand that the G650ER feels more powerful on takeoff compared to a traditional airliner.In fact, the force of the speeding plane down the runway was so great that anything not tied down was launched backward.
