Cobalt, the premier manufacturer of design-centric private aircrafts, has launched its first two models – the Co50 Valkyrie which is fully certified and the experimental Valkyrie-X version. Built for speed, the Valkyrie is the fastest private aircraft in its class with the ability to travel up to 260 knots. In contrast, other single engine piston aircraft usually tap out at 242 knots. The Valkyrie is a canard aircraft, equipped with a forewing to prevent the plane from stalling in the air. This provides a tremendous peace of mind to pilots and ensures the industry’s safest landings and takeoffs.
An onboard parachute is also provided for an additional sense of security. What’s more, pilots will appreciate the expansive visibility above and below as Valkyrie has the largest one-piece canopy in the world with a 320-degree view.
Inspired by classic fighter jets with clean lines and premium finishes, the Valkyrie impresses with understated elegance. The exterior comes in a range of custom finishes while the interior features premium leather seats, hand stitched by former Hermès craftsmen. It comfortably seats five people, including the pilot, with ample storage for golf clubs, skis and suitcases. And, as the propulsion engine is in the rear of the plane, this allows for a quiet and comfortable cabin.
From £409,000 / €531,700 / $595,000 for the Valkyrie-X
£480,500 / €624,625 / $699,000 for the Co50 Valkyrie
