15 Fastest Private Jets in The World!

Since Bill Lear invented the first private jet, manufacturers have strived to make private jets that are faster than anything that came before it. So what are the fastest private jets that you can buy? There are two main ways that you can define the phrase "fastest private jets"- cruise speed and max speed. For the purposes of simplicity, we'll be using cruising speed for ranking (as that is the speed you'll more than likely fly at). (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 15.

15 Best Private Jets in The World!

Opinion

Should you fly private?

We have covered many private jets on IAHQ recently, including the G650, Lineage 1000 and AS2, but never whether you should fly private. We may be fond of private and business jets, but we have never shared our opinion as to whether flying private is a good idea or not.
