Electric $160,000 60mph ‘mini plane’ with AI co-pilot aimed at super yacht billionaires as jet-ski replacement
A NEW plane designed for billionaires with super yachts has been revealed.
It’s an ultra-light aircraft that can take off and land on the deck of a large ship and is touted to replace the jet ski as a toy for the super-rich.
Klissarov Design is behind the concept and revealed designs for the $160,000 plane.
It’s called the Acro and is being designed with marine use in mind.
Although it’s only in the concept stage, the plane’s creators think it will be a hit.
It has several features that might appeal to super yacht owners including the ability to vertically take-off and land.
The light and compact design means it’s ideal to keep on a ship.
It could be used to transport passengers to the shore or just take them on a ride over the ocean.
No helipad is required as the plane can land safely on the regular deck of a ship.
The plane is being designed to fly at speeds up to 60 miles per hour.
Users will be assisted by an AI co-pilot to make flying easier.
The small plane aims to be clean and quiet.
It’s electric so will involve having a charging port to keep it fully charged and raring to go.
Other features include full 360-degree thrust abilities.
The craft is also touted as being acrobatic by its creators.
That means the super-rich could be using it to fly loops and do tricks over their super yachts.
According to Robb Report, the demand for this kind of device is there.
