EkranoYacht: A flying yacht designed as a permanent residence for 2025

ekranoyacht

After the Flying Yacht by Yelken Octuri, here is yet another interesting yacht concept that flies and floats. Described as a hydrogen-powered wing-in-ground effect vehicle for permanent residence, the EkranoYacht by student designer Jaron Dickson from Monash University aims to give us a glimpse of the yachts of the future. The flying yacht concept is one of the entries for the Australian Design Award. The EkranoYacht uses hydrogen power and flies 4 meters above the water surface, focusing on more efficient sea travel and protecting the environment.

Jaron Dickson says...

Humans are always thinking of new ways travel and improve their dynamic lives. My design is a blue-sky concept, but this type of forward and different thinking could possibly turn into a reality one day. My project has the liveability of a yacht and the convenience of an aeroplane.

Designed as a permanent residence for 2025, the 36.5m craft can accommodate six people comfortably. The interior design features open floor plan living, with large windows for natural light. The EkranoYacht does approximately 400kph in full flight, and can handle waves of up to 3.5 meters. You can use the craft as a normal yacht when needed.

We just love concepts around here, and when they are something like the EkranoYacht flying yacht, NASAs futuristic aircrafts or the YEE flying car, we love them even more.
