British sports car brand Aston Martin presents the Volante Vision Concept, a luxury aircraft with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities. Produced in partnership with Cranfield University, Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, and Rolls-Royce, the project aims to bring chic personal transportation to the sky. The Volante Vision Concept will take full advantage of the latest advances in aerospace, electrification and autonomous technologies, coupled with Aston Martin’s signature design. This new concept unites the world’s best aerospace experts, propulsion specialists, and designers. The skills offered by each partner ensures that the aircraft promises to offer an exciting alternative transportation solution for customers across the globe. “With the population in urban areas continuing to grow, congestion in towns and cities will become increasingly demanding,’ says Aston Martin president and CEO dr. Andy Palmer. “We need to look at alternative solutions to reduce congestion, cut pollution and improve mobility. Air travel will be a crucial part in the future of transportation, the volante vision concept is the ultimate luxury mobility solution.”

LISA Airplanes has unveiled AKOYA, a small private plane that can land on water, snow, and land. When it arrives at its destination, the aircraft’s wings can be folded in an instant, enabling it to be stored in a garage. The project was developed by a small team in the heart of the French Alps. The specifications were more than ambitious: the aim was to create an ‘all-terrain’ aircraft that performs well and is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and easy to fly. One of the AKOYA’s many features is the use of ‘Seafoil,’ a patented technology developed by LISA Airplanes that enables the aircraft to take off from water. AKOYA also features retractable landing gear, fitted with wheels and skis, enabling the pilot to land on both snow and land.

Seaplanes have been around for decades as a mode of transportation for people that live on islands, or for tourists sightseeing near places surrounded by water. But in recent years, they’ve been getting a lot more fun, thanks to companies like ICON, that have designed a personal seaplane, making them much more accessible to the average person. You can even store them in a garage and take them on road trips by towing the plane on a trailer. Once unloaded from the trailer, the wings fold out and lock into place, becoming the plane. Inside, there’s enough room for two people, with all the controls you expect to find in a regular plane. The plane can reach speeds of up to 109 miles per hour (176 km/h). Of course you need to be trained to fly seaplanes, and ICON has a training school for that.

PowerUp 3.0 turns your self-made paper airplane into a smartphone-controlled flying machine! The process is very simple, create your paper airplane, attach the PowerUp 3.0 smart module, and connect it via Bluetooth to the app on your smartphone (Android & iOS). You can then push throttle to full and launch the paper airplane high up into the sky, where you can control it up to a 180 feet/ 55 meter range, for 10 minutes! You can tilt your smartphone or tablet right or left for maneuvering and ascend or descend using the throttle lever. The device has a crash-resistant design, so no worrying about the perfect landing. Also included are a micro USB for charging, a spare propeller and rudder, and four special paper templates to ensure easy folding and flying spare.

Based on an airship platform, the “Aether” cruise experience by UK-based designer Mac Byers allows guests to experience a wider range of destinations in a shorter time, all the while enjoying some of the greatest views imaginable. The exterior of the vehicle is conceived to look unlike any airship ever produced – removing notions of danger, like the hindenburg disaster in 1937 . The concept visually communicates a new generation airship that is not only safe but clean, influenced by the thunderbird 2, star wars and the NASA space shuttle. Drawing reference from suspension bridge cables, the lobby integrates structural cords for details like stairways and tables. The interior space has been designed to be as open as possible – encouraging social interaction and providing a communal gathering place for users to meet.

The Pipistrel Panthera 4-seater aircraft has been unveiled at the Aero Expo in Freidrichshafen, Germany.This compact plane can zoom in the skies at 200 knots of speed, but consuming 41% less fuel as compared to anything within the competing league. It can be ordered with a standard, albeit highly efficient, gas engine. But it’s also available in an all-electric model, which can cover a distance of 400 km on a single charge and is supported by the state-of-the-art battery system for the environmentally conscious high-flyers. Besides a slick streamlined design, the inside of the Panthera includes generously sized touchscreen aviation instruments, front seats that look like they were lifted from a luxury sports car, and extra wide back seats for added passenger comfort. There’s also plenty of storage space for luggage.

This stunning concept of superyacht created by French interior cabin designer Yelken Octuri and called “Flying Yacht” will allow you to change your location much more faster then ordinary yacht thanks to its design. Designer has devoted his energy to furthering ship & marine equipment technologies. It’s a trimaran sailing yacht with four additional engines. Also this 46-meter luxury yacht contains four mobile masts which transforms into wings by the clicking of a button. So it’s full of latest technology and modern ship and boat components. Flying Yacht has two main decks including a lower deck with a gallery and main salon and an upper deck with three cabins. By his own words Octuri was inspired by the existing superyacht “The Maltese Falcon.” It has a good chances to become one of the most expensive luxury yachts in the world.

Mr. Young C. Park from Honolulu, Hawaii ia a retired dentist with passion to aircraft modeling. This passion goes from childhood and transforms into amazingly realistic models of airplain. The Corsair had always been a favorite of Young C. Park and he decided to built the small model from aluminium. This model contains every rivet, every bolt, every cartridge from real plain but much more smaller. The Corsair from Young C. Park is just incredibly realistic.
