No need to wait years for that single-seat electric plane from NASA — Yuneec offers the e430, a two-seat electro-plane that’s been flying for the past six months, and will be ready to buy next year. If the company delivers on its promise, this electrically powered plane could change the world, costing just two dollars per hour to power its flight. The first planes will cost $89,000. That’s not too bad as far as private planes go, and who wouldn’t want to fly in a low-noise, emissions-free e430? Nice. If its whisper-quiet engine is too loud for you (or if you’ve run out of power during its 1.5- to 3-hour flight time), the plane’s 25:1 glide …

The vehicle features a 544 horsepower electric engine, a battery that will last for 186 miles, and a top speed of 155 miles per hour.

Underwater flight a possibility with the Super Aviator
Uber-fanatical as I am about scuba diving , and all things deep blue, I’m just not convinced about the Super Aviator. Sure, it’s a two-seater submarine that costs around $2.5 million and has people like Roman Abramovich and Richard Branson moist with excitement, but this underwater vehicle has got a bit more going for it than a mere rich...

Portable scanner looks like a pen, is way more expensive
I’ve never needed to scan a document or photo while sitting in a plane seat, but if you ever have, there’s a gadget for that. The unfortunately named DocuPen is a portable scanner made by PlanOn, about the size of one of Harry Potter’s magic wands. Just roll the scanner along the document or photo you want to scan, and it’ll...

92-Foot Argos Gulfstream Yacht Forgoes A Helicopter For A 4-Seat Sportsman Airplane On Deck
By Andrew Liszewski You’re definitely going to turn some heads if you pull into a dock with a 92-foot yacht, but having a 4-seat airplane on deck will easily make you the envy of every captain in the harbor. Of course you’ll have to pay about $6 million for the privilege, but I’d say it’s totally worth it. The duo was recently...
