​​The World’s First “Air Yacht” Would Sail in the Sky and Sea (With Zero Emissions)

By Jessica Cherner

Yachts and private planes make for luxurious ways to zip from one place to another, but recently, a businessman based in Germany and Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini discovered what happens when they combine boats and jets: the ultra-sleek sky yacht. Equipped with eight counter-rotating electric engines powered by super-lightweight batteries and solar panels, the nearly 500-foot-long yacht can traverse the sky (and sea) at 60 knots for more than two days straight with zero emissions. Plus, aside from its full-electric mobility, the air yacht is sustainable in other ways too: It will be built entirely from carbon fiber, which is as high-strength as it is lightweight.

The 500-foot futuristic vessel comprises three main parts: a central compartment with a living room and dining area flanked by two inflatable helium blimps that house 10 suites.

Lazzarini’s design looks like something out of the future: a spacious living room and dining area housed within the sky yacht’s central torpedo-shaped structure that’s connected via eight carbon bridges (four on each side) to two 150-foot-long blimps. And the blimps that contain a whopping 14,125,867 cubic feet of helium that keep the vessel high in the sky, flanking the main compartment, aren’t just there to elevate the jet: Between the two, there are 10 guest suites, all of which boast 360-degree views.

The two balloon-like compartments on either side of the impressive vessel comprise an inflatable base that allows the innovative machine to float atop the water surface when the owner is in the mood to sail the sea versus the sky. Though being able to choose which medium makes the most sense for specific destinations sounds like an ideal way to travel, the sky yacht is, unfortunately, still quite a ways off from replacing typical ships and planes. 

The enormous sky yacht is too big to simply park at a marina while its guests climb aboard, so it comes equipped with a retractable staircase.  

For the private owner who commissioned the estimated $627,511,500 sky yacht, however, his new mode of transportation is the way of the future. In fact, Lazzarini has promised that a first-scale model prototype will lift into the air later this year, and a collection of slightly varying designs (of different lengths) is currently in the early phases of both engineering and prototyping. So, perhaps we’ll all be passengers onboard a boat that flies before the end of the decade.

AIR Yacht – Extraordinary $120M Luxury Superyacht

AIR yacht is a charter yacht that can be chartered for approximately $992,000 per week. She is an 81-meter behemoth designed for comfort and having fun times while out on the harsh seas.

With the concept of fun at the top of their priorities, you could have access to their jet skis, WaveRunners, and other toys onboard the AIR superyacht.

AIR yacht interior

The AIR yacht was interiorly designed by the famous Remi Tessier , who started his design career training as a cabinetmaker for over seven years.

Now, he has transitioned and applied all his learnings in yacht designing and has been the one responsible for some incredible yachts. 

One of these yachts is the Squall yacht; a 53-meter yacht delivered back in 2002; She can comfortably travel at cruising speeds of 10 knots and go up to 14 knots.

Another of these yachts is the PARSIFAL II, a charter yacht that can readily welcome up to 10 guests at a time and can be attended to by six qualified crew members.

Designed for entertainment, the AIR yacht lacks nothing in the amenities department. She has a full-blown gym, a swimming pool, a beauty room, an elevator, an impressive movie theatre, a jacuzzi, a spa room, and a commercial helipad.

She also has full air-conditioning and internet connection throughout the yacht.

Adding to this, she has access to tons of toys on board. Guests can choose from a plethora of activities they can do, such as riding in one of their jet skis, kayaks, scuba diving equipment, water skis, wave runners, and even inflatable water toys.

Specifications

The AIR yacht currently spans 265 feet or 81 meters, has a beam of 38 feet or 11.6 meters, and a draft of 11.8 feet or 3.55 meters. She is built with a steel hull, along with an aluminum superstructure. 

Although she weighs a hefty 1,893 tons, her powerful twin MTU engines partnered with her jaw-dropping 177,000-liter fuel tanks, she can easily cover a distance of over 5,000 nautical miles and can cruise at speeds of 15 knots, and can even go up to speeds of 17 knots.

AIR superyacht was engineered by famous designer Henri de Voogt, who started his passion for yachts by participating in races.

They are now famous for their creative exterior yacht designs and have been involved in several yachts such as Bliss and Viva.

World’s First “Air Yacht” Would Sail In The Sky And Sea With Zero Emissions

Luxury and innovation unite in an awe-inspiring creation that challenges the very boundaries of travel. Picture a vessel that effortlessly glides through the endless skies and the serene seas, offering a lifestyle of opulence and sustainability. The brainchild of a German businessman and the visionary Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini, the “Air Yacht” concept has shattered conventional notions of yachts and private planes. Powered by eight counter-rotating electric engines fueled by lightweight batteries and solar panels, this nearly 500-foot-long masterpiece takes to the skies while leaving behind a pristine, emission-free environment. But this is just the beginning of the story as we delve into the futuristic marvel that is set to redefine luxury travel.

The Sky Yacht Concept: A Fusion of Luxury and Eco-Friendliness

Imagine a 150-meter-long vessel connected by four bridges to two side blimps, creating an impressive width of 80 meters. These two inflatable helium blimps are subdivided into hive areas or cells, ensuring the hermetic isolation of each helium compartment. This cutting-edge design by Pierpaolo Lazzarini offers the best of both worlds: a yacht that can sail the sea and a private jet that can soar through the sky. When the owner decides to take to the sky, the release of compressed helium from tanks within the blimps elevates the air yacht. Conversely, when it’s time to sail the sea, the air yacht can float on the water thanks to the depressurization of helium and its ballast anchor system.

Eco-Friendly Propulsion: Flying and Sailing with Zero Emissions

The Air Yacht incorporates eight counter-rotating electric engines, each boasting 950 horsepower, all powered by ultra-lightweight batteries and solar panels. This propulsion system allows the air yacht to reach a maximum speed of 60 knots and continuously travel for more than two days with zero emissions. Furthermore, the entire structure is constructed from carbon fiber, a material renowned for its high strength and lightweight properties. With helium, lightweight batteries, solar panels, and carbon fiber, the Air Yacht represents a pinnacle of sustainable air travel.

The Air Yacht Would Offer Luxurious Living Spaces

The central torpedo-shaped structure of the air yacht hosts a spacious living room and dining area, providing an elegant setting for relaxation and entertainment. Connecting this central compartment to the two side blimps are four carbon bridges (two on each side), ensuring structural integrity and ease of movement. Between the two blimps, passengers can find ten en-suite staterooms, five in each balloon, all offering breathtaking 360-degree views. The owner’s master cabin, located in the central part, also boasts a stunning 360-degree view. In total, the Air Yacht can accommodate up to 22 guests in 11 cabins.

Multi-Modal Travel: Sky or Sea, Your Choice

The air yacht’s inflatable bases in the two balloon-like compartments allow it to gracefully float on the water surface when the owner decides to sail instead of flying. This versatility provides an ideal way to choose the best mode of transportation for specific destinations. However, due to its enormous size, the air yacht cannot be parked at a marina. To overcome this limitation, it is equipped with a retractable staircase, allowing guests to board a smaller boat to reach the harbor.

Price and Future Prospects

The estimated cost of this extraordinary Air Yacht is a staggering $627,511,500. A German businessman, impressed by this revolutionary concept, has commissioned the construction of a first-scale model prototype, set to take flight by the end of 2022. Additionally, various designs of different lengths are in the early phases of engineering and prototyping. While the Air Yacht is not designed for public transportation or tourist purposes, it represents a significant leap forward in the world of private aviation and luxury yachts.

Sustainable Future: Sail the Sky Without Emissions

The Air Yacht offers a sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation, raising hopes for a future where travel leaves minimal environmental impact. Its innovative design and zero-emissions propulsion system pave the way for luxurious and environmentally conscious journeys. As Lazzarini Design Studio stated, “ With the Air Yacht, there is a way to sail the sky without emissions damaging the future .”

A Glimpse into the Future of Luxury Travel

The Air Yacht is not just a vessel; it’s a bold vision of the future of travel. Its luxury, sustainability, and versatility fusion represents a significant step forward in private aviation and yachting. While it may be a while before we all experience the thrill of sailing the sky, the Air Yacht offers a tantalizing glimpse into what may become a reality in the next decade.

Simple Flying

Bonkers: a look at lazzarini's concept 'air yacht'.

To fly or to sail? That's the question. At least, it was. The futuristic Air Yacht allows you to fly and sail in the most luxurious way possible.

Italians are renowned for being at the forefront of design innovation . The new "Air Yacht" concept, developed by the Italian design studio Pierpaolo Lazzarini, is the latest proof of this incredible capacity. As the name suggests, the new Air Yacht is both a yacht that can sail the sea and a private jet that can fly its owner across the world. Let's have a closer look at this astonishing piece of futuristic design together.

The structure of the Sky Yacht

It might sound like sci-fiction, but it is true. Or, at least, the blueprint is already a reality. The Italian design studio Lazzarini has developed a luxurious and eco-friendly flying yacht. But what would it look like?

Imagine a 150-meter-long vessel connected by four bridges to two side blimps for a total width of 80 meters. Each of the two floating blimps would be divided into hives, or cells, acting as helium compartments. Indeed, when the private owner of the Air Yacht wants to take to the sky, all they have to do is release helium, compressed in tanks, in the two blimps.

On the other hand, when the owner is tired of seeing the world from above, they can decide to sail the sea. Indeed, in the lower part, the two balloons incorporate inflatable bases to allow the Air Yacht to float on the water. The depressurization of helium and its ballast anchor enables the Air Yacht to sail at a speed of five knots.

Four counter-rotating engines of 950 horsepower (hp) each are attached to the outer sides of the blimps. These are powered by ultra-light batteries and solar panels, allowing the Air Yacht to fly at a maximum speed of 60 knots for more than two days straight at zero emissions . Additionally, the entire structure has been designed to be built using carbon fiber, a high-strength and lightweight material.

With the use of helium, lightweight batteries, solar panels for the propulsion of the four engines, and lightweight carbon for the structure, the Air Yacht is at the forefront of sustainable air travel. In a statement, Lazzarini design studio stated:

"With the Air Yacht, there is a way to sail the sky without emissions damaging the future"

The Sky yacht's living spaces

If the external structure of the Air Yacht has the 'wow' factor, wait until you see what's inside...

The central, 80-meter-long, torpedo-shaped structure hosts a spacious living room and a dining room. Four carbon-made bridges, two on each side of the main structure, connect it to the two side blimps. Here, the owner's guests can find ten en-suite staterooms, five in each balloon. All ten suites offer breathtaking 360-degree views. The owner's master cabin, shown in the photo below, is instead located in the Air Yacht's central part, also offering a stunning 360-degree view.

Therefore, the Air Yacht can host up to 22 guests in 11 cabins. On the rooftop, guests will enjoy a swimming pool, while a helipad enables helicopters to take off and land to transfer the owner and their guests to the dry land. Indeed, the Air Yacht's dimensions prevent it from being parked at a marina. Besides the helipad, the Air Yacht also features a retractable staircase, allowing the guests to board a smaller boat to reach the harbor.

The estimated price of the Air Yacht is a whopping $627,511,500. Pierpaolo Lazzarini has promised the private owner who has commissioned the Air Yacht, a German businessman, to have a first-scale model prototype lifted in the air by the end of 2022. Additionally, a series of varying designs with different lengths is in the early phases of the engineering and prototyping process.

Meet Air Yacht, a Bonkers Flying Superyacht Concept Powered by Two Helium Blimps

Is it a boat? Is it a plane? Well, folks, Lazzarini ’s futuristic new concept is a bit of both.

The disruptive design studio, which routinely delivers extreme marine creations , has just unveiled a flying superyacht called Air Yacht that looks as though it’s come straight from a sci-fi flick. The vessel’s tech is at the bleeding edge, too, with helium being the main source of fuel.

Made from carbon fiber, the Air Yacht has one main 262-foot hull sandwiched between a pair of 492-foot airships. These two “floating balloons,” as Lazzarini describes them, will be divided into hives to store helium gas. Think of it as a superyacht with two blimps that can lift it to the skies.

The Air Yacht can either fly or sail.  Lazzarini Design

The Italian outfit hasn’t gone into too much detail regarding how this propulsion actually works but says the compressed helium allows the Air Yacht to “fly” for up to 48 hours at a top speed of 60 knots. The cruiser is also equipped with eight counter-rotating electric engines powered by ultra-light batteries and solar panels. This setup enables the yacht to sail on the water at 5 knots with no noise or pollution.

“With the Air Yacht, there is a way to sail the sky without emissions damaging the future,” the studio said in a statement.

Lazzarini assures the vessel packs all the features of a typical luxury yacht as well. The central hull comprises a large dining area and living room, along with the master cabin which offers a large ensuite and sprawling panoramic views. To top it off, this hull features a helipad and swimming pool on the roof.

The futuristic superyacht still is equipped with a swimming pool, of course.  Lazzarini Design

The two accompanying airships, meanwhile, can be accessed via four separate bridges and each offer five ensuite staterooms with expansive windows to take in the vistas when in flight.

As for who will pilot the Air Yacht, Lazzarini says the vessel is not intended for “touristic purposes.”

The interior of the Air Yacht is fittingly modern.  Lazzarini Design

“It’s for a private owner who wants both a superyacht and evolution in aviation,” the studio adds.

Like all of Lazzarini’s creations, from the swan-shaped megayacht to the 276-foot superyacht with a giant hole in the superstructure, the Air Yacht will remain a concept until somebody chooses to make it a reality.

This is the Air Yacht V2, a crazy flying yacht concept unlike anything that’s come before it. 

The flying superyacht has been created by Lazzarini Designs and looks like it’s come straight out of a sci-fi movie. 

Made from carbon fiber, the Air Yacht V2 essentially consists of two massive blimps powered by helium. 

And it was designed to be a billionaire’s play toy.

The V2 has a tri-hull configuration. 

Its center hull is sandwiched between two blimps that measure 169 meters (554 feet) in length. 

Each of the blimps is filled with helium, solar panels, light batteries, and counter-rotating electric motors with 950 hp each. 

The motors are used for propulsion and landing on the water. 

It was designed to be able to fly for a full 48 hours before needing to touch down on the ground. 

Being blimps, speed isn’t the aircraft’s forte. 

The V2 will only be able to reach a top speed of 100 knots, which is equal to about 185km/h (115 mph). 

But what the aircraft lacks in speed, it makes up for in comfort.

It can house up to 20 people between 10 luxury cabins. 

The cabins are spread between the two blimps, while the master suite is located in the center hull for ultimate privacy. 

The aircraft also has a massive open deck at the back of the aircraft which serves as an incredible observation lounge when in the air. 

The V2 is the new, more futuristic version of Lazzarini’s original Air Yacht. 

When the Italian design house originally came out with the Air Yacht, it described it as the future of low-emissions travel. 

“With the Air Yacht, there is a way to sail the sky without emissions damaging the future,” a spokesperson said. 

While there’s no mention of them on the V2, the original Air Yacht was designed with a helipad and swimming pool on the roof. 

Lazzarini said the concept was not created for tourists, instead, it was created with a single owner in mind. 

“It’s for a private owner who wants both a superyacht and evolution in aviation,” it said. 

Similar to other out-of-this-world creations by Lazzarini, the Air Yacht and Air Yacht V2 are both concepts for the time being until someone (with money) decides to make them a reality.

Super noisy shoes

Ryan643746952 - Mar 09, 2024

Style and look are amazing. However the sound like a shoe that is wet every step. They are loud and squeek. I thought it would break in but 6 weeks later and still the same. I have both the high and lows of these and they are all noisy. Gave a 2 star because of the style ...

‘The Bloody Hundredth’ documentary puts real faces to TV show’s heroes

The World War II story of the Eighth Air Force’s 100th Bomb Group, which came to be known as the “Bloody Hundredth,” made its way to TV screens this year with the release of the Steven Spielberg-Tom Hanks series “Masters of the Air.”

For viewers looking to learn more about the larger-than-life troops depicted on the show, a companion documentary titled “The Bloody Hundredth” is just the ticket.

Directed by Mark Herzog and Laurent Bouzereau, the 62-minute film features interviews with living B-17 bomber pilots who flew some of the war’s most dangerous missions. And while many of the conflict’s air crew members have since passed away, Herzog was able to source previously recorded footage that fit seamlessly within the story.

“We found interviews that were conducted in the ‘80s, the ‘90s, and the 2000s, and then we augmented that with interviewing veterans who were still with us, including John “Lucky” Luckadoo and Bob Wolff, who are both 102,” Herzog told Military Times. “Being able to tell the story to the audience and have them get just a little bit extra beyond what the series can deliver is great.”

One of the biggest challenges, Herzog added, was sifting through the archival combat footage to condense it into something palatable. The flight scenes, he noted, aren’t quite the same as what viewers will see in the television show.

“While our battle sequences in the sky will never be as visceral as what the series portrays, I really love the flight sequences in the series,” he said. “Ours were actual footage filmed on handhelds, so it’s a little hard to see sometimes.”

The documentary is narrated by Hanks, whose steady voice lends authority to the subject matter. It is one of several companion documentaries Herzog has done to supplement other programming. He also produced a documentary for the HBO series “Band of Brothers” and “John Adams.”

“A good story is a good story, no matter when that story happened,” he said. ”A good story can always teach us and enlighten us to what’s going on.”

“The Bloody Hundredth” is available on Apple TV+.
