From booting up Grand Theft Auto Online, players will gain access to countless supercars such as The Los Santos Tuner's exclusive Pfister Comet S2 or the Bravado Banshee 900R by spending big at the various motor-stores spread across the online action-crime video game. However, as extravagant as these nitro-tacked speed demons may seem, there is one high-flying affordable vehicle that beats out all of these cars in terms of speed when traversing across Los Santos.
Since GTA Online's recent overhaul added many new supercars, putting the pedal to the metal and burning rubber is the primary way for players to reach an objective or mission starter in style. After all, in just a few clicks, their very own custom vehicle can be summoned to their location in a matter of seconds through the in-game mechanic. But, the two major flaws that plague these super-fast rides are the staggering price tag, and the dangerous lack of protection the luxury beetle-wing doors serve against enemy infrared, guided missiles. So, for criminals who need to get from A to B alive, it's time to ditch the wheels for a pair of wings.

On behalf of Reddit user jnbarnes14, meet the Nagasaki Ultralight, a somewhat affordable glider introduced into GTA Online in the popular Smuggler's Run expansion. It may look like some beat-up ramshackle aircraft a stray breeze can take that down, but looks can be deceiving, as this glider can hit incredible speeds that are undetectable by hostile missiles if the player applies the correct modifications. With that said, there is a slight catch when trying to obtain the vehicle.
Although the Nagasaki Ultralight costs $665,000, with there being a trade price of $500,000, the aircraft is excluded from Pegasus Lifestyle Management and must be stored in the player's personal hangar. Hangars are valuable purchasable properties in GTA Online that come with a wide range of neat additions, yet they fall in the financial ballpark of $1,200,000 and $5,670,000, which can be pricy for newer players. For the uninitiated, there are five hangars available from Maze Bank Foreclosures, all of which come supplied with a complimentary Cuban 800 airplane.
Once at least one hanger is bought in GTA Online, along with the Nagasaki Ultralight, it is time to fit the glider with the necessary stealth component. Specifically, the muffled carbon propeller for $315,000. While the extended blades offer a speed increase, this carbon upgrade offers an identical speed increase with the added anti-radar feature. Not only do the blades keep pilots off the radar, but they further allow the player to glide above restricted zones without being detected by enemy AI.
Now, with the muffled Nagasaki Ultralight in possession, players can hit the clouds at a phenomenal 73.25 mph (117.88 km/h), with the bonus of avoiding ground griefers and AI detection. For another method of getting around Sandy Shores as quietly as possible, gamers can now take advantage of GTA Online's limited bicycle giveaway.
Grand Theft Auto Online is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions in development.
