Plane that cruises on land, sea & snow

Scientists in the US have developed a James Bond style, foldable two-seater plane which can travel by land, sea, and even in snow and will soon hit the market priced at $3,50,000. The Lisa Akoya is a multipurpose plane which is just as comfortable on water and even snow as it is in the air. The aircraft is soon to go on sale in the US following more than 70 test flights, the Daily Mail reported. It even comes with foldable wings, allowing it to be kept in a garage. The Akoya made its debut at the AirVenture Oshkosh show in Winconsin last month, and will be ready for buyers in 2014 in Europe and America. It can travel up to 2,011 kilometres on a single trip at speeds of up to 135 knots 155 mph, before touching down on practically any smooth surface.
