... Okay, how common is it for startups to have _private planes_, even small ones like the one pictured? I've never seen that. You'd think at some point investors would get irritated.
You'd think at some point the investors would read the startup's prospectus, and realize that they have invested in a company that wants to modify airplanes to run off of hydrogen, and that the company has purchased not just a a _private plane_, but a _whole blimey airliner_ and a bunch of _jet turbine parts_ and to try and implement this scheme.
More common than it should be. There is a group that is impressed that you are large enough to afford to own a plane. If you have to travel often a plane at your command saves a lot of time. If you often travel with the same group the size of the plane, it can be cheaper than first class. Generally you should be better off leasing 25% of private jet though for the above needs.
Of course airplanes are always an environmental disaster. That doesn't matter to many people though.
