Having a giant yacht is undoubtedly a luxury for the ultra-rich. However, managing a fleet of private jets alongside it can be quite troublesome. But now, a visionary designer has come up with a remarkable solution: a yacht equipped with a built-in helicopter that can transform into a jet. This groundbreaking concept is the brainchild of Vasily Klyukin, a Russian designer who envisions it taking flight in the year 2050.

Klyukin named his futuristic creation “Monaco 2050,” symbolizing his belief that the first yacht of its kind will emerge during that year. He explained that the upper deck of the yacht serves as both an integral part of the vessel and an independent aircraft. By employing screws embedded in the wings, it can ascend vertically and function as a helicopter. However, even for the super-rich, this feature alone may not be sufficient.

Recognizing that a helicopter alone has limitations, Klyukin remarked, “The concept of a helicopter on top of a yacht is no longer innovative, and it poses challenges for transatlantic crossings or flying to distant destinations like Hong Kong. Therefore, once it reaches the required altitude and speed, the yacht can engage its jet engines and venture overseas.”

In fact, Klyukin believes there is no need to wait for 35 years to see his concept materialize. He asserts that such a yacht could be realized even today, given the advancements in drone technology and the achievements of the helicopter industry. By utilizing these technological developments, the aircraft can attain the desired height, and only then, at an altitude of 1000-2000 meters, switch to its jet engines. Confident in his abilities, Klyukin states, “I am convinced that I will make this dream a reality in my lifetime, and I will have the opportunity to soar above the skies on such a remarkable yacht.”
