Performance & Handling
Engineered with a sharp deep‑V hull and Nordic hydrodynamics, the Airborne 8 combines sporty responsiveness with exceptional stability. Thanks to the hypalon tubes that barely touch the water, this design reduces drag, lowers fuel consumption, and channels G‑forces downward rather than sideways—delivering smoother high‑speed turns and superior comfort in choppy seas.
With a 350 HP Mercury outboard, this RIB reaches cruising speeds over 30 knots and top speeds exceeding 50 knots, while also offering long‑range capabilities and refined fuel efficiency.
