It's been called sexy and jawdropping -- and it's also incredibly high-tech. It's a new type of sleek airplane called Synergy Aircraft.
It's true -- airplanes are an essential mode of travel, but today's planes are decades old and seriously need replacing. Not only are planes an uncomfortable way to travel, but they're not doing the environment any favors either. The Synergy Aircraft Project thinks planes need some modern updating.
The origami-looking wings and newly designed "double box tail" make the craft more lightweight and drag less. They say travel time and cost will be decreased, plus it's easy to operate and safe.
The man mainly responsible for creating the eco-friendly plane, John McGinnis of Montana, is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. So far, the project's reached $26,000 and has 16 days to go to reach its goal of $65,000. If you pledge $100 or more, you can fly in this craft.
"In this second century of flight, we believe that ordinary families should have fast options to travel where they want, when they want, in quiet safety, with better economy than a car. Without the exhausting airport hassle," notes the Kickstarter page.
