What’s better than driving between destinations? Flying between locations! The ICON A5 Aeroplane is one promising piece of tech that could be the next step in daily travelling.

Don’t have a car license? Don’t have a pilot license? Don’t have a bike license? Well, that’s all good! Just hop in an ICON A5 plane and fly yourself to wherever your heart desires. Couple that with sustainable energy and then we only have space to conquer.

There will be a day when roads, tires and sadly cars will become obsolete to the human race. Why?  Well, simply because technology and life are expanding and improving at a rapid rate. You learn about new inventions almost every 24 hours.

There’s not one person complaining though. All these improvements are focused on making our way of life easier, cheaper and healthier. Most noticeable changes and improvement are invested in the way we move around on the planet we call home. From Bullet trains to self-driving cars, the way we move around on this asteroid is evolving with each blink of the eye.

The only time evolution would go stale is if we were able to teleport between here and the planet Kepler-452b. Then it would solely be about intergalactic war. Until that takes place in our ever-changing civilisation, what’s the next best thing after driving around on a Sunday afternoon?

There can be only one answer… Flying around the state!

The ICON A5 Cockpit Made Simple or “Carpit”

The ICON A5 is an amphibious sports plane that a 15-year-old could fly. Actually, any person who’s able to read the dials on a car’s dashboard could manoeuvre it through the skies of Valhalla. This is what makes it so special compared to other sport planes out there.

The cockpit or what I would refer to it as the “carpit” is what makes this Icon A5 so easy to fly. No confusing dials that look like if you about to engage the left button, your right wing is about to do a backflip. It’s just easier to digest and doesn’t require you to have a pilot license.

It is a single-engine plane capable of land and water landings, seating two people at a go. and looks like a ton of fun. It would be a massive bonus if this little machine could operate on something other than gasoline.

We’d actually be winning at life if it did.

It is said the ICON A5 will set you back $269,000 for the base model and for the fully equipped A5, you looking at $389,000. Would you get you an ICON A5 sports plane?
