2026 Aron M 80

The Aron M 80 is a composite-built ground-effect vehicle powered by a single Pratt & Whitney PT6A turbine producing 750 horsepower. It reaches a maximum speed of 135 knots and cruises at 85 knots, operating on a cushion of air approximately 25 feet above the water surface. The hull features a trimaran design engineered for stability and safe water landings in seas up to 5.9 feet. Construction uses advanced hybrid composite materials with carbon fiber bonding and vacuum infusion techniques for lightweight strength.

The craft accommodates up to eight passengers depending on configuration, with one head. Control is managed via joystick. Navigation and monitoring systems include Garmin marine electronics with radar, chart plotter, and AIS, plus AI-powered day/night vision camera and 360° visibility system. Telemetry capabilities enable global asset monitoring.

The trimaran hull design has completed over 100,000 miles of flight testing. The composite construction resists corrosion, and the design incorporates few moving parts to minimize maintenance needs. Wings are detachable for compact storage, and the M 80 is transportable via standard trailer.
