Lisa Akoya amphibious two seat aircraft from Lisa Airplanes.

Lisa test pilots report "outstanding flight performance, combining long distances and exceptional comfort." Spokespersons elaborated, "From the cockpit up to the edge of the wings, and through the Seafoils, a number of technical innovations offer elegance, operating convenience and exceptional aerodynamic performance: top speed of 156 mph, range of 1,250 miles, fuel consumption of 42 mph, and Akoya takes off and lands in as little as 650 feet."

Thanks to folding wings (photo & video), Akoya can be stored in a garage or aboard your yacht. With its stratospheric price tag of $395,000, Lisa will have to market to well-heeled customers.

Lisa developers also boast of Akoya's 180-degree panoramic view through its tinted bubble canopy and a cockpit specially designed to combine both aesthetics and maximum comfort. Engineered to meet the LSA regulation, Lisa said Akoya is positioned between [European] ultralight aircraft and standard category certified aircraft.

They said that while the LSA concept is still not widely known in Europe, "this new U.S. standard is becoming international" and they intend to prove compliance of Akoya to ASTM industry consensus standards. Lisa assures that a Sport Pilot certificate will suffice in the USA while Europeans can obtain a Light Aircraft Pilot License after a 20 to 30-hour training session varying slightly to meet each country's regulation.

It was good to see Lisa back at AirVenture 2014.

Thank You for your continued support!

The Seawind cost more but has a rear pivot point for the canopy which allows for easy access and the plane is a four seater. Also, has a 300 hp motor and when you remove the two rear seats you have a sleeping area. You also get a 1, 500-mile flight range.

It is 2018 now less 20 days. Is it in production yet ?

[felixaudet]

Only 2 little anticipated problems: 1. landing / takeoff in waves 2. Beaching. Other than that, awesome design, can't wait to see the electric version in action.

freaking genious design..waaaay to much for the price

[brucebeverly]

Great blend of form and function. A paint scheme with a design element along the length of each side would give it some needed visual pop, IMO. Most needed is a more affordable price, though. -Hope to see this on the market when it's ready.

[EamonnSeoigh]

Interesting. Creative design concepts employed, triple the price of their applicable competitors. I hope the price comes way down....

[uptightnonchalant]

When is a kit going to be available? Or are they going to limit their market to strictly factory lsa?

[lars.]

Her smile could sell the plane in any condition. With due respect.

[andymckee]

$358, 000 US. Ouch. Only for the very wealthy it would seem.. 3 times the price of other composite light aircraft with ROTAX engines.

land with discharged batteries and fly it as a kite with A.I. and a tether to recharge it .Auto land, get in fly on!
Or fly tethered to a hydrofoil across oceans with no fuel like a sailboat.
