Unveiling an Amphibious Skiplane

Following the European success of the AKOYA and in answer to the increasing interest from the North American market, LISA Airplanes will present its amphibious light airplane at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (Wisconsin, USA) at booth 446/457, from July 23rd to the 29th, 2012.

EAA AirVenture is the largest airshow in the world. Attended by 500,000 visitors every year, it is the place to be for all aviation enthusiasts.

Thanks to its Multi-Access patented technology and unique design, LISA Airplanes proposes an unprecedented light airplane for the American market. The combination of Seafoils, which are cutting-edge hydrofoils located under the fuselage, the skis integrated with the retractable landing gear and its pivoting wings, offers an unequalled freedom and pleasure of flight. Take off from snow then land on water on sea, lake or river in another region is now within reach of everyone.

As the only aircraft in the world using the Seafoil technology, the AKOYA embodies a new generation of seaplanes dedicated to both sightseeing and cross-country flights. Thanks to an audacious vision of a highly skilled team, the AKOYA combines the qualities of a type certificated aircraft while fulfilling the S-LSA regulation (CS-LSA in Europe). With a top speed of 138mph (222km/h) in the U.S. and 155mph (250km/hr) in Europe, a range of more than 1,000 miles (1,600km) and a low fuel consumption of only 36 mpg (3.3gal/h; 6.5 L/100km), pilots will appreciate this performance along with the versatility of the AKOYA.
