12th - 14th May 2009 - LISA Airplanes and Danish Yachts have chosen EBACE to unveil to the aeronautic world their concept of “private aircraft carrier”
LISA Airplanes and Danish Yachts will introduce to visitors their
partnership at EBACE, the business aviation exhibition held at Palexpo
(Geneva, Switzerland) from May 12th to 14th, 2009, booth n°#1181.
LISA Airplanes and Danish Yachts exhibited on a shared booth their new concept of “private aircraft carrier” offering a new way to enjoy pleasure aviation with an unequalled freedom of move.
AKOYA: Outstanding equipment and performances:
- The Multi-Access technology enabling to land on snow, ground and water with the same ease
- A folding wings system, so that AKOYA can be stowed on a yacht to become the most exclusive Tender on the market.
- Aerodynamic and fine lines for uncompromising performances while keeping low fuel consumption.
Created
in 2004, LISA Airplanes designs and sells innovative and
top-of-the-range leisure aircraft combining performance, comfort,
design, freedom and ecology. Its range of aircraft is based on a simple
concept: To go beyond the boundaries of dream and innovation.
The
Dayboat: The new 38-meters-yacht designed by Espen Oeino and build by
Danish Yachts is of a highly technical nature. Besides being
aesthetics, it consumes far less fuel than other yachts of the same
size thanks to its entirely carbon-made structure. Moreover, it is
equipped with a submersible deck at the boat rear, especially designed
to host an AKOYA on its board.
Created in 1988, Danish Yachts
is a modern "Super Yacht" shipyard located in the port of Skagen in
Denmark. Its « one-off » sail and motor yachts from 80 – 150 feet (24 –
46 meters), are at the cutting edge of technology by using only best
materials, in collaboration with some of the world's leading
designers.
16th–19th April 2009 – Top Marques 2009
LISA Airplanes and partner Danish Yacht created a sensation at the Top Marques show held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco from April 16th to 19th, 2009.
Presenting on a shared stand their new concept of “private aircraft carrier”, LISA Airplanes and Danish Yacht have piqued the curiosity of the privileged visitors of this exclusive event dedicated to luxury cars, starting with the visit of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.
The Dayboat: the new yacht designed by Danish Yacht has many assets. Besides being aesthetics, it consumes far less fuel than other yachts of the same size thanks to its entirely carbon-made structure. Moreover, it is equipped with a submersible deck at the boat rear, especially designed to host an AKOYA on its board.
AKOYA: thanks to its folding wings, this airplane can be stowed on a yacht to become the most exclusive Tender on the market. Original for leisure between sea and land, AKOYA flies more than 1300 Km away from a yacht, while keeping a low fuel consumption.
25th-28th February 2009 - LISA Airplanes and Trina Solar To Extend Partnership into 2009
After the first successful collaboration in 2008, LISA Airplanes and Trina Solar continue to pursue and extend their partnership into 2009. Sharing the same environmental values, the two companies join forces to develop the Hy-Bird, an electric aircraft powered by solar energy and hydrogen via a fuel cell.
Recognized worldwide as a high-performance manufacturer of cells and photovoltaic modules, Trina Solar will supply LISA Airplanes with 1,100 monocrystalline cells for the assembly of the Hy-Bird.
The solar cells arranged on the wings and horizontal tail of the plane will recharge the lithium batteries during flight and on ground. These batteries will supply the Hy-Bird with additional energy required for takeoff and for on-board power supply. These different clean energy sources will power the electric motor which is more silent and efficient than a gas engine.

LISA Airplanes and Trina Solar shall present the Hy-Bird at the Renewable Energy Exhibition, held in Lyon, Eurexpo, France from 25th to 28th February 2009 (Trina Solar’s booth 8F65, Hall 8).
19th December 2008 - LISA Airplanes and Courchevel become partners for Hy-Bird Project
Because tomorrow begins today
LISA Airplanes and Courchevel are very pleased to unveil their partnership as the winter sports season has just started. Hy-Bird, the exceptional ecologic aircraft will be exhibited at the prestigious ski resort, Courchevel 1850.
Symbolizing a new aircraft generation, Hy-Bird is electric and uses only renewable energies to fly. This technological feat, based on the latest energy innovations developed by LISA Airplanes’ partners, will mark the beginning of an environmentally-friendly recreational aviation.
Courchevel, deeply involved in sustainable development, supports many innovative and daring projects. Therefore, the ski resort supports Hy-Bird and becomes one of the partners of the project.
Hy-Bird will create the event by starting and achieving its Round-the-World flight by stages in Courchevel.
In the meantime, you are invited to discover one of Hy-Bird life-size prototypes at the foot of the fabulous ski slopes offered by Courchevel.
Discover the Hy-Bird Project :
Permanent Exhibition: Maison de Moriond, Courchevel 1650.
From 6th December 2008 to 20th January 2009 : Hy-Bird Prototype, La Croisette, Courchevel 1850.

11th-13th December 2008 - the Planetworkshops
LISA Airplanes introduces Hy-Bird project in Courchevel at the Planetworkshops.
LISA Airplanes is going to exhibit its project of ecologic light aircraft, Hy-Bird, at the third edition of the Planetworkshops, held from 11th to 13th December in Courchevel (Savoie), a prestigious ski resort.
The Planetworkshops are a meeting place bringing together decision-makers from diverse fields – business leaders, academics, NGO representatives, political leaders, media— to work together on the serious challenges of sustainable development.
Deeply involved in sustainable mobility, Hy-Bird project has been invited to participate in the Planetworkshops. Vanessa Troillard, Hy-Bird project manager, will be there to show that technologies and innovations used in Hy-Bird can meet this ambitious challenge.
Hy-Bird is a 100% clean and electric aircraft. This airplane works with solar energy stocked in batteries and hydrogen converted into electricity through a fuel cell. To design this futuristic aircraft, LISA Airplanes uses the skills and know-how acquired while developing its first airplane, AKOYA. Thus, Hy-Bird has the same fuselage and aerodynamic qualities providing it low energy consumption.
LISA Airplanes wishes to show how sustainable mobility can be applied to light aviation and will point out those technologies and innovations through a Round-the-World by stages.
LISA Airplanes will therefore demonstrate that performance, comfort and freedom can go hand in hand with "respect for the environment."

24th-27th September 2008 - LISA Airplanes and Danish Yacht announce their partnership at the Monaco Yacht Show
UNIQUE JOINT VENTURE: Superyachts and Planes; landing on water, stowed at sea
Danish Yacht and LISA Airplanes are pleased to announce their collaboration, in the first of their plans to develop new projects and provide additional benefits and initiatives to superyacht owners and captains.
Danish Yacht, a modern superyacht shipyard located in Skagen in Denmark, and LISA Airplanes are exploring the market of combining superyachts and light airplanes, providing what could soon become an essential and unique resource to the global superyacht community.
The LISA ‘AKOYA’ aircraft features folding wings. Each wing is able to individually rotate aft on the airplane, providing easy stowage on the deck of any superyacht. With low fuel consumption, the lightweight AKOYA is ideal for storage on yachts and is able to take off and land on water, by using its specially designed hydrofoil system.
EErick Herzberger from LISA Airplanes, said, “We are very pleased to be working alongside Danish Yacht to design a unique system for superyachts to carry pleasure aircraft.”
“For the future, we have a strategy in place, with our aircraft engineers and designers to further develop our range of airplanes to produce larger aircraft, which can also be used with large yachts. The joint input from the design team at Danish Yacht and LISA Airplanes is already proving these innovations are taking us to a successful partnership.”
Jonathan McDonnell from Danish Yacht, agreed, “We are delighted to be working alongside LISA Airplanes in this new collaboration to bring aircraft and superyachts still closer together. We are constantly researching and analysing new ways of bringing additional benefits to owners and their captains, which are in keeping with the design, aesthetics and functionality of their yachts. This is proving to be an extremely exciting project.”
Danish Yacht and LISA Airplanes are to officially announce their partnership at the Monaco Yacht Show 2008.
