ICON A5 Wingfold Studio Video

[xxYetterxx]

139,000 almost makes me want to learn how to fly

[TheAdviserYP]

@MrA3RO no it just has random wings of course it flys,drives on land and water

[rcflight13]

Slightly worried at what sea water will do to those hinges, that and what will happen to them if you pull back too hard.

[cccccccp7]

@rcflight13 i mean the people who designed the virgin galactic thing helped design the icona5 so I'm pretty sure that they thought of it

[RijenRijen]

tbh i still find this one of the first planes... it can look good.,.... but still its not so special as what you tryed to make.

[AlmostCommon]

Seems kind of excessive, but some old flight enthusiast without the strength would enjoy that option I guess.

[Youbian]

Hopefully this thing will remove some of the mystery of flying. Everyone should have the privilege- I've always wondered why the Automotive and Aviation world (which came onto the scene at relatively the same time) aren't more homogeneous in todays world.

The only issue with this, stop marketing it to the upper class.

Who knows what the future will bring. There will be surprises.

[grubeci]

well the the truth is...there could be juicy times ahead. more computing power than ever...tons of time...nobody needs anything more than a cup a rice a day....but loook at all OUR tooys!

[tom080955]

Okay, so much for the sailboat...I'm interested...looks like more research.

Love the wings folding, the amphib and its a 2 seater. Is it legal in Canada?

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

4 seats? boooooooooooo!!! I don't want a bus I like only one extra seat and when the passenger is in they feel they are special to be occupying the only passenger seat. 2 seats FTW plane or car, no backseat drivers, lol.

[TheVirabhadra]

its 2 seats,300 miles flight range max.Sells for about a $140,000 made to order.

[demonikreaper]

... You do realize you don't need to fill every seat.

[piloty5]

if they made a 4 seater version of this plane i would buy it on the day it came out. and the price dont mater

[justinmiusuks]

it won't happen light sport aircrafts are limited to 2 seats

[igorbolad]

is it a car??

[treead1]

its a plane

[n40798]

Are the rectacting wings automated? If they are it must add a alot of weight to it.

[piloty5]

they are automatic

[s030141]

you can get manual and automatic wings and if you really want to, stationary wings

[DigitizeThis]

At this writing, the bad news is that the folding wings are not automated unless you want to give up the retractable landing gear. If you select the automatic wingfold option, you will have no amphibian aircraft, because ICON will not install the "standard feature" of the retractable landing gear. The plane would be too heavy otherwise. You can only get retractable wheels if you go with manually folding wings. If you want an amphibian, don't fall in love with the automatic wingfold option!

[sportagus3]

that is just dope. I like how it was made by a former F-16 pilot and a skateboard designer. An odd couple and look what they came up with. And for only 140 g's? screw a lambo this plane slaps!!

[rbugg91]

She says "Can you drive me home?" then i will say "Absolutely not, I'll fly u home baby!" this thing is cheaper than most sports cars im def gettin one

[Stellardude32]

bad ass and affordable...for an airplane

[b101aa2]

do you offer a different cockpit layout, so one could be using g1000's, and bendex stacks? Also, do you offer a non folding wing option (aka bolt on), because that has a much stronger joint and can handle more of a load. I don't know what the Icon is rated at. Site doesn't say, but in Sport class, the normal minimums are -1/+4.

[brocshy]

I got two words.ahhh yeahhh!

[Desstromath]

This commercial told me why I should buy it, because it's pretty. I use these type of stupid planes as kindling in my fireplace.

[ccarever]

shit i was saving to buy myself an awesome normal car, but now i want that baby to be mine. keep saving looks like i will never have that little bird.

[NichotP]

109 000 $ americain

will work like RR Cars

[Foster398]

At a starting price of $139,000 this plane is making me reconsider my dream of a Seawind.

[horsesass]

I have to have one, nevermind an expensive car. This plane is only $140,000

[hmendoza79]

i think they start at $150,000

[AndyTiran]

God I want one ! Can you imagine, every weekend you might get away to the nicest fishing places and stuff like that ! And design is just gorgeous!

[ytubeanon]

looks like a transformer

[ssing45]

I want one

[proud2b4family]

I gotta say that I had almost given up on my dream of being a pilot, but a sport pilot license combined with this beauty is making me reconsider. This is the plane we've all been waiting for. Move over Moeller Skycar and "flying cars". This is my new escape pod.

Frigging SWEET!

[kaikairr]

This plane is Freaking Awesome!

[ToenzZz]

This airplane is your instant weekend getaway to almost whatever location outside any city!

[peterp696]

What is the projected price???

[dacouture1979]

139,000 US

[guitarplayer1243]

139,000...not bad for a plane that has a top speed of 120mph and can take u 350 miles in a full tank...

[TeddyG72]

$139,000 , which is relatively small for any type of plane.

[marceloadeoliveira]

bonitinho.....mas vôa?

[TibTV]

The independent wing folding thing is blowing my mind. You guys must just sit around and dream this stuff up all day.

[TibTV]

This plane is the bomb. This plane exudes sensuality.
