Apparently it's being promoted as a "viewing platform" for "A-list animal lovers".

I wonder what would happen if someone said they were interested in it for hunting safaris and is there a gun turret option...

If I ever saw one of those monstrosities while on safari I would fire one warning shot over the fuselage and run them off at gunpoint!!! Cool Big Grin

Somebody obviously has both too much money and too much time on their hands.

That's the least practical design I've ever seen in aviation. Bloody flying motor home.
