Type of Plane: The couple owns a super mid-sized business jet called a Bombardier Challenger 850.

Seating: The Bombardier Challenger 850 can easily fit 15 to 19 people, which is plenty of room for their family of five, which includes Blue Ivy, Rumi, Sir, and twins Rumi and Sir.
Details: The plane is the biggest of its kind made by Bombardier, an engineering company. The length is 87 feet (26.5 meters) and the width is 69 feet (21 meters). It has two General Electric CF34-3B1 turbofan engines that give it a cruise speed of 509 mph (719 kph) and a high-speed cruise speed of 528 mph (850 kph). The range is very good, at 3,235 miles (5,206 kilometers).
