A Russian company called Scarab Aviation Lab has developed the perfect exploration craft, an ultralight flying pod coined the Evolution that can travel across land, snow, and water. The Evolution uses a gliding parachute that allows the craft to fly at speeds up to 100 mph. One seat Evolutions start at $7,200, and two-seaters run up to $13,500. Each is custom built and shipped within 60 days of order.

We’re waiting for Scarab to develop a rack that will hold guns, snowboards, and fishing equipment, and , so the Evolution can serve a more practical purpose. We’re also looking forward to two personal planes Scarab has in the design process: Sirius and Iris (pictured in thumbs below). No word yet on when they’ll be available for sale or what the pricing will be, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear.
