Check out the nifty "Jet ski for the skies," design posted on Core77's site. The site says the design came from a collaboration among IDEO, Art Center, Nissan Design America, Troy Lee Designs, Scaled Composites, and Icon Aircraft.

According to the site, the A5 recently won an IDEA award and will sell next year for $139,000.
