Passenger flying boat 'Albatross'
Designed as a direct competitor to the Ocean liner industry, the Albatross has been described by some as “a flying yacht” and by others as “an airborne hotel”. Whatever you think, the Albatross can get you from point A to point B quickly, safely (safe from icebergs at least), and with a glass of champagne in one hand.
