This flying catamaran reinvents the zeppelin

Imagined by the Italian design studio Lazzarini, this concept called Air Yacht is based on two airships rigid 150 meters long filled withhelium connected by a central bridge 80 meters long and 10 meters wide.

A kind of flying catamaran designed to accommodate a few ultra-fortunate privileged people looking for exclusive experiences. After landing in helicopter on the deck of their Air Yacht, they will enjoy a 360-degree view from the vast living-dining room or one of the five en-suite suites.

This flying palace is supposed to be able to navigate for more than 48 hours thanks to the 400,000 m 3 of compressed helium contained in its tanks and to solar panels. The propulsion is provided by eight electric rotors which can pivot to allow the Air Yacht to land on the water thanks to a ballast system and to sail at 5 knots.

Of course, this is just a concept that is not intended to become reality, at least not for now. But there is no doubt that a billionaire eager to impress his fellow creatures would not hesitate to put his hand in the wallet to afford such a toy.
