AKOYA - Amphibious Light Sport Aircraft - Introduction

The AKOYA is a two-seater amphibious aircraft with a unique design and a wealth of features. From land, water or snow, the AKOYA takes its passengers 1250 miles away (2000km) thanks to its impressive fuel efficiency of 42MPG (5,6L/100km) and can reach the speed of 135 knots (250km/h). After a pleasant and quick flight, the AKOYA lands on a less than 650-feet field (200m) and fold its wings to be parked in a garage. To reach these performances with no compromises, LISA Airplanes has designed an exclusive innovation in the aviation field which allows landing on multiple surfaces. The Multi-Access technology is a unique combination of two Seafoils, a retractable landing gear equipped with skis and folding wings.
The AKOYA is designed to fulfill the LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) regulation -- the new American standard that is to become an international standard such as in Europe with the CS-LSA implementation.

well done. I was just wondering, why wasn't there any planes with hydrofoil and then I found you...wonderful.

[@CecilRamsey-f9l]

Looking forward to your coming out with the production model s

[@nelsonfilho6779]

Muito interessante, qual é a Motorização ? Congratulações !

[@andrewharris883]

Congratulations on a beautiful, functional design. 1250 nmi range? What the heck...LOL I absolutely love it.

[@w8stral]

Thanks in advance: What wave height maximum have you landed in? What max wave height have you taken off in? Without knowing this basic information, I must look elsewhere. Very critical information. Thanks

[@StuntmanJake]

that is so cool.

[@stephenj.p.ingley4033]

The first flight of Akoya made in August 2007, and after two years of testing the prototype was completed. In the autumn of 2011, the project became known to the whole world, and last year after the first flight with a passenger on board, the company began to take deposits. The amphibious aircraft was offered for € 300,000 ($ 400,000) in a package with 3-year after-sales service. But, the company has not moved to the stage of commercial production. Certification of the model, scheduled for the middle of this year, 2019, was also suspended. In the future, the manufacturer intends to create a hybrid version with solar panels mounted on the upper edge of the wings. Lisa emerged Chap 11 Summer 2018.

a fantastic plane..max speed.andtotal flying time.and litres in tank

[@Karuiko]

Creates plane, creates patent for revolutionary landing gear system so no one else can use it, only to never commercially release the plane.

[@RAIMUTVEE]

This aircraft should be added to the new Microsoft Flight Simulation.

[@yanghunjin2635]

What about self rechargeable hybrid electric jet engine or tilt rotor?

[@wenc599]

Awesome plane! But it seems that it's easy to damage the fins if you use sideslip technique for cross-wind landings.

[@LISAAirplanes]

The seafoils were designed to land in 15kts cross-wind conditions. Just like landing on paved runway, after a sideslip approach, you just re-center the aircraft for touchdown. The foils' symmetry and the general forces on the first touch with water automatically put the aircraft in level configuration. We have already experienced cross-wind situations on water landings, and all went well. If you need further information, do not hesitate to contact us at [e-mail]

LISA Airplanes Thanks for the reply!

[@walterconcrete5017]

Do the foils create lift in flight?

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!!

[@hyouzanren1846]

Is this plane quake proof?

[@morghino1497]

480.000€ out market price!!! Please!

[@macrumpton]

It would be cool if you could run it as a hydrofoil surface craft.

[@peteranninos2516]

Ok, I never saw how far a wingtip dug into the water when not at speed. This could be a real issue if you climb in from the water. It looks beautiful but for the price I can get a Bonanza AND a Lake amphibian.

[@user-kc3ih1eg8p]

Ok...GoD .

[@Jaden48108]

Impressive!

[@gmcjetpilot]

About US$358,000 I am out. Cool design, wish them success and luck... I would rather a C185 or C206 on Anphib floats. Far more useful and 1/3rd the price.

[@pedrootaviomaiagarcia9701]

Yeah, but then you can't store it in your garage instead of paying for a hangar or a bay. And you gonna pay a lot more for fuel too.

[@gmcjetpilot]

@@pedrootaviomaiagarcia9701 2 things: 1) ICON Aircraft is done 2) $395,000 usd can buy a lot of hanger and fuel. 2a) Hanger - how many folding wing planes do you see on the road? It's a PIA to fold and unfold. You still need a trailer and large garage to store it w/ folded wings. 2b). FUEL - Car gas at the local station can (does) have alcohol and/or ethanol not suitable for aircraft use. Even if you can buy good high octane car gas w/o additives, hauling cans of gas from station to airport and filling airplane by cans is a PIA. *True Mogas (auto fuel sold at airports which is safe for planes) is not widely available and expensive (close to price of Av 100LL). No real saving. 100LL is far better safer, less likely to vapor lock or distroy O-rings and seals. If your engine quits due to vapor lock, the few bucks savings was not worth it.

[@CarltonSmithAXAThunder]

I love its looks but it looks kind of flimsy and the icon has more range and is more spacious has an angle of attack gauuge is faa certified stall spin resistant and it looks better

[@LISAAirplanes]

Dear Carlton, Thanks for your comment. Here are the specs you're referring to in your comment, just to make sure you've got the appropriate data to make a proper comparison: - AKOYA's range: up to 1,250 miles (1,080 NM - 2,000 km) - Cockpit width: 51" - 1,30m - Instrumentation: Glass cockpit 10" with EFIS, EMS, GPS navigation system, 3D synthetic terrain vision and Angle of Attack (which is by the way included in most of the Glass Cockpit system) - Certification: S-LSA (FAA-USA) and CS-LSA (EASA-Europe) Happy holidays!
