The ICON A5 Aircraft

13 06 2008


Loaded with features like folding wings (so you can keep it in your garage) and seat belt-like parachutes (so you can ease the whole thing down to the ground), ICON Aircraft’s new light sport airplane (LSA), dubbed the A5, might just be the ultimate joyride.

What if you had an aircraft that fit in your driveway and could take off from basically anywhere? The new Icon A5 Aircraft just made flying a lot easier. This sports plane is about the length of two compact cars and has wings that can be folded up for easy storage and transport in a trailer that hitches to your car. But the best part is that it can actually take off from the water, meaning all you need to do is drive it down to the lake and let it fly. The A5 probably won’t be available for a bit, but you can order one now for about $139,000. To see more photos click here. By the way, this thing is real.
