Description
The Zanadu is a luxury aircraft created by Avanti Aerospace in the beginning of the 31st Century. The aircraft is based on Avanti's twenty-ninth century Longshoreman aircraft, a basic transport which has an excellent safety record.
Zanadu Air Buses are typically customized per the customer's order, so no two aircraft are exactly the same.
Cargo and Capacities
The Zanadu carries five tons of cargo with access through the left wing door. It also features 100 passenger seats and a field kitchen.
Avanti craftsman can equip the design with a wide array of equipment and amenities. These range from communications equipment and sleeping quarters to other, more unusual, features.
Notable Aircraft and Owners
- Ricardo Hunt - the star of seventeen seasons of the Holovid show Immortal Warrior. His custom ordered Zanadu Air Bus contained its own swimming pool.
