Get Acquainted with Air Yacht, the Mind-Blowing Flying Superyacht Propelled by Twin Helium Blimps

Is it a ship? Is that a jet? Well, folks, Lazzarini’s novel futuristic idea is a combination of both.

The innovative design studio, which regularly produces extreme marine creations, has just unveiled a flying superyacht dubbed Air Yacht that appears to be from a science fiction film. The ship’s technology is also cutting-edge, with helium serving as its primary propellant source.

The primary 262-foot hull of the carbon fibre Air Yacht is sandwiched between two 492-foot airships. These two “floating balloons,” as described by Lazzarini, will be divided into colonies for helium storage. Imagine a superyacht with two blimps that can propel it into the air.

Air Yacht can “fly” for up to 48 hours at a maximum speed of 60 knots, according to the Italian company, which has not provided a great deal of information on how this propulsion system actually functions. The cruiser is also equipped with eight counter-rotating electric engines propelled by solar panels and ultra-lightweight batteries. This configuration allows the yacht to sail at 5 knots without producing any commotion or pollution.

The studio said in a statement, “With the Air Yacht, it is possible to sail the sky without damaging the future through emissions.”

Lazzarini guarantees that the vessel has all the characteristics of a typical luxury yacht. The central hull features a spacious dining area and living room, as well as a master cabin with a spacious ensuite and expansive panoramic views. This superstructure is topped off with a helipad and swimming pool on the roof.

The two accompanying airships can be accessed via four separate spans, and each features five staterooms with expansive windows for viewing the scenery while in flight.

Regarding the Air Yacht’s pilot, Lazzarini states that the vessel is not intended for “touristic purposes.”

The studio adds, “It is for a private owner who desires both a superyacht and the evolution of aviation.”

The Air Yacht, like all of Lazzarini’s other designs, from the swan-shaped megayacht to the 276-foot superyacht with an enormous hole in the superstructure, will remain a concept until somebody decides to build it.
