Description
The Zanadu is a luxury aircraft created by Avanti Aerospace in the beginning of the thirty-first century. The aircraft is based on Avanti's twenty-ninth century Longshoreman aircraft, a basic transport which has an excellent safety record.[1][2]
Zanadu Air Buses are typically customized per the customer's order, so no two aircraft are exactly the same.[1][2]
Equipment and Capabilities
The Zanadu carries five tons of cargo with access through the left wing door. It also features 100 passenger seats and an on-board kitchen.[1][2]
Avanti craftsmen 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.[1][2]
Notable Aircraft and Owners
- Ricardo Hunt - the star of seventeen seasons of the Holovid show Immortal Warrior. His custom Zanadu Air Bus contained its own swimming pool.[1][2]
