"Even when middle-class millionaires invest in traditional luxuries like second homes, jets, or yachts, they prefer fractional ownership. They're looking for ownership to be converted into a relationship rather than an asset they have to take care of. Their primary luxuries are time and attention."

Lewis Schiff , Advanced Planning Group

"Fractional ownership is quickly becoming a mainstream way of living and is emerging as one of this decade’s major paradigms in consumer behavior."

Daniel Nissanoff, author Futureshop.

Fractional helicopters take to the skies

It seems unusual that fractional helicopter schemes are not more popular- it’s one area which we at FL Towers would have predicted to be a major growth area considering the increasing congestion throughout the major cities of the world.  Perhaps 2008 will be the year that such fractional ownership plans gain a foothold.

With flying cars remaining in the realms of science-fiction a helicopter seems like the ideal choice for the cash-rich time-poor individual- just imagine zipping around the skies in your own private helicopter to get to client meetings, the office or just for a weekend getaway without being a slave to the usual traffic issues.

Whirl Helicopters is a new Atlanta based company that are leading the fractional helicopter charge.  Their program allows you to purchase a one-sixth share in the popular Robinson R44 helicopter- giving you all the benefits without the prohibitive cost and associated hassles of full ownership.  You can fly yourself if qualified or a pilot can be supplied.

For business or leisure, Whirl opens up a whole new lifestyle that’s affordable, enjoyable and frees up your time for more important pursuits.  Find out more about Whirl’s program here.
