INCREDIBLE plans have been revealed for a lavish futuristic superyacht designed to "fly billionaires over water" while cruising at high speeds.
If you ever wanted to fly across the sea in a hoverboard only James Bond could ever own, this is the closest chance you will ever get.
Dubbed "Flying Pyramid" because of its unique geometrical shape, Tetra would be able to lift itself above and float over water while defying gravity.
Created by London-based designer Jonathan Schwinge, the concept yacht is what is called a hydrofoil - a design that helps vessels to stay above water, making it seem like they are rather flying.
Hydrofoil designs have multiple hulls attached to the body - and have shaped vanes called foils that help the vessel to lift off the water.

And since only a small part of a hydrofoil boat touches the water surface, the drag is drastically reduced to offer a smoother and faster ride.
Foiling technology dates back to the 1900s, but it has been vamped up recently with a modern twist.
Jonathan's design reimagines the form, superstructure, and propulsion of modern superyachts into a streamlined, elevated enclosure.
"The design is instigated by the re-thinking of the form, superstructure and propulsion of the modern superyacht into a radically simple enclosure and an elevated mode of travel above the water line," he said.
Working on the same principle, his Tetra would travel using three hulls on its underside at low speeds.
Once it takes off at high speed, a torpedo-shaped foil will extend down from the hull which will help to lift the yacht out of the water.
The concept superyacht will reportedly have a speed of 17.2mph during take-off - and will be able to cruise above water at an impressive speed of up to 43.7mph.
According to the designers, an auto-pilot "fly-by-light" system will be borrowed from the aviation industry and will be installed in the superyacht.
It will reportedly help to take control during difficult weather conditions and maintain and help reduce the body roll for passengers.
If the superyacht is ever built, it will boast lightweight carbon fibre and strong stainless steel - but will only be capable of accommodating 10 people including the crew, despite having a massive appearance.

Apart from its unique design, Tetra will boast the ultimate luxury for future billionaires to travel in style.
When docked, the superyacht will be able to unfold three sides of this body to become what the designer is calling a "sun deck" - an outdoor lounge area with dining facilities and ways access to seawater.
The cost of creating Tetra has not been made public yet, but one can easily expect lots of zeros.
