A luxury helicopter, an electrifying debut album, and a DJ who doesn’t do things halfway, Lilly Palmer just dropped the music video for her newest banger, “Bigger Than Techno,” and the production goes all out.
The visuals capture the larger-than-life energy that the Techno queen has built her career around. Dramatic and cinematic, it all makes sense once the track kicks in.
Where Cinematic Visuals Meet Pounding Techno
There’s a reason artists reach for luxury helicopters when they want to make a real statement on screen. Few things scream “we are not playing around” quite like one lifting off in the background of a music video.
For Palmer, the imagery lines up seamlessly with her pounding sound: heavy Techno blended with trancey textures and thumping beats that feel tailor-made for festival crowds or underground raves.
Moreover, the whole package, visuals and audio together, is built to hit hard and leave a lasting impression.
So… How Much Does a Luxury Helicopter Cost?
Since the music video has everyone talking about that helicopter moment, it’s worth asking: how much does a luxury helicopter cost, anyway? The answer depends on the model and features, but high-end private helicopters typically range anywhere from $500,000 to well over $3 million for top-of-the-line models.
Luxury helicopters from manufacturers such as Airbus, Bell, and Leonardo can be equipped with premium interiors, advanced avionics, and custom finishes. Basically, the exact kind of premium details that go hand in hand with her debut album, called ‘Bigger Than Techno.’
This material is packed with team-ups from some seriously major names: Armin van Buuren, Vini Vici, Maddix, Space 92, and Danny Avila all feature on the record. It’s a stacked lineup that gives the project a diverse, club-ready rhythm.
Whether Palmer’s visuals used a rented or privately owned aircraft, the effect is completely undeniable.
What Is the Most Luxurious Helicopter in the World?
The helicopter featured in Palmer’s video is the HB-ZPX, an AgustaWestland AW109SP Grand New built by Leonardo S.p.A.. This elegant twin-engine helicopter seats up to six passengers in a handcrafted leather cabin with a glass cockpit and advanced avionics.
Starting at around $6.3 million, it belongs to the same luxury family as the Versace-designed AW109 VIP, a collaboration.
At the very top of the luxury helicopter market is the Sikorsky S-92 Executive, priced from $27 million. Used by world leaders and executives, it offers seating for up to ten passengers with reclining leather seats, high-speed internet, premium audio, and even a bar.
The United States Navy also selected it as the next Marine One helicopter.
Other contenders include the Bell 525 Relentless (around $20 million) and the Airbus ACH175 (about $17 million).
The HB-ZPX seen in the clip sits comfortably within this high-end category, highlighting the production value behind the release.
It’s All About That Adrenaline Rush
Palmer has been pretty open about what drove the concept behind “Bigger Than Techno.” It’s all rooted in the raw emotion and adrenaline of the dance floor.
That energy she experiences during her global DJ sets, when everything clicks, and the crowd is fully locked in, is what she poured into this tune.
On the other hand, the luxury helicopter in the video isn’t just a flex. It’s a visual extension of that feeling, the thrill, the scale, the sense that something absolutely epic is happening right in front of you.
