US luxury goods firm Hammacher Schlemmer has created a toy for superyacht owners, named Flying Hovercraft. The super hovercraft is able to glide over land and water and soar through the air. This contraption is available for $190,000 per unit at Hammacher’s main internet page.
Flying Hovercraft is able to fit 3 adult passengers (660-lbs of total weight) and it operating in fresh- or saltwater and up to 30% inclines over sand, mud, grass, swamp, desert, ice, and snow. It features a 130 horsepower twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine and can hit speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.
Technically, Flying Hovercraft comes with a lightweight fiberglass and PVC hull and is propelled by a 130 HP twin cylinder gasoline engine and its wings. Alongside a horizontal elevator, the 60-inch long wood and carbon fiber propeller, plus the 1100 RPM lift fan, combine their efforts to elevate the hovercraft up to twenty feet in the air. It boasts a wood and carbon composite structure, ensuring that it remains light as well as sturdy, with an upper half sporting a yellow shade and a lower end in carbon black.
Capable of traveling 160 miles on one tank, the flying hovercraft is perfect for the customer who is unsure whether they want to travel by the water or air to their destination. [Hammacher Schlemmer]
