Would this thing fly? Most probably not. Should someone try to make something similar for real? In a word: YES. [Dezeen]

But imagine one of those jets as a private plane as you see in the picture above, and with a BMW interior. Brazilian company Embraer has teamed up with BMW's Los Angeles studio, DesignworksUSA, for some super-swank interiors for the company's medium-range jets. The Phenom 300 pictured here should be one of the first to get the BMW interior, expected to take to the skies in 2009. The $6.65 million (probably more with this snazzy interior) jet flies at 41,000 feet and has a range of 2,078 miles. Hit the gallery to take an inside tour. [Wired]
