For this episode, Nico Pliquett swaps the electric car for a cockpit. Together with Lisa Zosel, he flies the VL3 from JMB, a high-performance ultralight aircraft designed for high speeds and long range.
According to the video title, the VL3 reaches more than 300 km/h and has a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. These performance figures put the ultralight aircraft well above what many people might associate with this class of aircraft.
With a quoted price of around €400,000, however, the VL3 is anything but an affordable recreational aircraft. Pliquett explains from his personal perspective why he would nevertheless consider buying one.
The focus is on the shared flying experience and the appeal of a particularly powerful ultralight aircraft. The episode thus ventures into private aviation and shows the combination of speed and range that modern ultralight aircraft can offer.
