Rich people have a problem.
No, its not lukewarm champagne or confrontation by stories of poor people in the news.
Thoughts and prayers, people.
I actually know a guy who sails peoplesyachts from one side of the world to the next.
But a Swiss company might just be putting him out of a job.
The company is calledAirYacht.
And it heard the cry of the wealthy.

How does the AirYacht travel?
The aircraft component flies courtesy of a detachableairship or blimppowered by an air and helium propulsion system.
The long-term goal is to run on onlyhydrogenin the future.
When on the water, the yacht runs on an electric engine.
The airship can also pull it along, so you arent delayed for your next party.
Just in case you wanna drop down in the desert and are getting a bit hot.
The company describes its vision thus:
Innovation and technology are omnipresent in the AirYacht project.
Greedy for varied and complementary skills, the desire to move forward with the best is inalienable.
I think we can all agree that the termgreedyis apt.
And in terms of vision, this is actually the second flying yacht released this year.
But it exists in concept only, whereas orders are open for the AirYacht.
The first delivery is planned for the end of 2026.
Bet the crypto kids are crying that they wont be able to afford a ride anytime soon.
