Assuming you don’t have a 1500–2000 metre heavy aircraft runway in your backyard, it’s the shipping costs that would likely kill you.

- BurningFrog 6y agoI guess it would have to be disassembled and shipped in pieces. Unless a cargo blimp can take it. Do such things exist?
- lmm 6y agoThe Airlander 10 wrote off their old prototype, and has a maximum payload of 10 tonnes, whereas an unloaded 747 is about 180 tonnes. Remember it's a plane so big that they used to piggyback the space shuttle orbiters (which are not small) on it.
- BurningFrog 6y agoSounds like it could be done in 20 trips. Also sounds like even if they give the plane away, just shipping it will be a ~7 digit expense. I hereby withdraw my interest!
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI know nothing about this, but there are people who move their houses, surely a plane is easier than that.
