IAI Astra Description

Slicing through the skies at an incredible speed of almost 741 km/h, while your rivals are still arranging the departure flight. This is an incredible experience only with IAI Astra, a business jet that turns fast transcontinental sail into a walk in the park without losing even a bit of comfort. This Israeli-invented wonder does not only link cities; it actually makes them a lot closer, having a maximum range of 5,000 kilometers which is equivalent to a flight from London to New York or from Singapore to Tokyo. As you step into the cabin, the first thing that will catch your attention is the way that Astra has efficiently utilized the space. With 1.71 meters of headroom, even if you're quite tall, you won't be forced to duck. The 5.21-meter cabin length creates two independent areas for work and relaxation, while the 1.49-meter width makes it possible to seat two people side-by-side without bumping into each other's shoulders. Seven people can have full privacy whether they are studying contracts or simply taking a break. Say goodbye to narrow and tube-like aeronautical cabins; this is more likely a small luxury apartment at 40,000 feet. What makes the Astra truly distinctive is its ability to offer extreme performance along with comfortable travel. These twin engines not solely enable you to fly faster than regular airliners – they also do it quietly, thus allowing you to communicate without the need to raise your voice. You will also like the impressive 2.15 cubic meters luggage space. This is quite enough for your golf clubs, presentation gear, plus a couple of alternatives for your work evenings with meetings, and all the luggage are kept in a secured place. The business aviation sector is particularly fond of the Astra's ability to steer complicated routes. Do you want to land at a secondary airport with a short runway? Not a problem, at all. What if we go to a city in a high-altitude area during a hot season? The Astra can manage it very well whereas larger aircraft may find it more difficult. This is achieved by careful aerodynamic design shaped through military legacy engineering learned over the years. At the end of the day, the Astra has got an excellent balance, the corporate jet's efficiency is without the executive's stimulant. It's the kind of product for decision-makers who don't want to choose between time and health, as they can be on schedule and at the same time, they can be rested well in the plane.
