No – this isn’t a prop from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, or the computer-generated doodlings of an overachieving design student. This is an actual plane – one that you can buy for less than a two-bed apartment in Herne Hill. Inspired by fighter jets, the Cobalt Co50 Valkyrie is the fastest private aircraft in its class, with the ability to travel up to 260knots (300mph). It’s safe, too: a clever fore-wing stops it from stalling – giving tremendous peace of mind to pilots and ensuring the industry’s safest landings and takeoffs. The exterior comes in a range of custom finishes and different colours. The interior features premium leather seats, hand stitched by former Hermès craftsmen. The dashboard design is equally impressive with only one on/off switch and a dock for your iPad. The plane comfortably seats five people, including the pilot, with ample storage for golf clubs, skis and suitcases. The fuel tanks aren’t big enough to get you across the pond, but will easily see you anywhere on the continent.
