Sky Yacht Vs Evil Biz Jets

GREEN SKY YACHTS Vs. CO2 EVIL BUSINESS JETS!

Given that LTAs are once again in style thanks to their green credentials compared to the CO2 evil business jets, it came the moment for an Italian designer to say in a snooty manner: “I won't construct a trash blimp-like they did in the last century! All amateurs in the genre will be flabbergasted by my design!” As always, Lazzarini design studios (Rome) accomplished it with flair by throwing aside the norm, redefining luxury and speed on land and at sea for a private Air Yacht that is one of a kind. The 80 meters main hull of the Air Yacht, which is made of carbon fiber, is surrounded by two 150 meters-long airships. To store helium gas, these two flying balloons are separated into hives. Imagine it as a superyacht that is equipped with two LTAs that can carry it to the skies.

The Air Yacht should "fly" for up to 48 hours at a top speed of 60 knots (111km/ h) thanks the compressed helium. Additionally, the cruiser has eight electric engines that rotate counterclockwise and are fueled by small, light batteries and solar panels. With this configuration, the yacht may cruise at 5 knots without making any noise or causing any pollution.

The studio stated: "With the Air Yacht, our method is to cruise the skies without emissions harming the future." Green or nothing! Lazzarini guarantees that the boat will include all the amenities found in a standard luxury yacht. The main stateroom, which has a spacious bathroom and expansive panoramic views, is located in the center of the hull along with a huge dining area, living room, and other rooms. To top it all off, this vessel has a rooftop pool and helipad!

The two accompanying airships, on the other hand, have five ensuite bedrooms apiece, each with a large window to take in the views as you fly, and they may be reached by four different bridges. It's for a private owner who want both an advancement in aviation and a superyacht. It will remain an idea until someone decides to make it a reality, just like all of Lazzarini's masterpieces, from the swan-shaped mega-yacht to the 276-foot superyacht with a large hole in the superstructure.

The US-based airship industry veteran AEROS has joined the fray to create its own sky yacht, which is inspired by the UFO, a common US fantasy reimagined as an LTA design.

They have already received 15 pre-orders since they are less exotic and cost 10% of the price of the Italian master (who will certainly find his unique client in due course) and are more realistic in their prospective production.

This flying yacht has an adaptable design that allows for the distribution of both private and public spaces, making it the ideal vehicle for the discerning traveler seeking something novel and especially environmentally friendly in comparison to his or her CO2-emitting business jet buddies.
