NASA Made a Small Personal Aircraft With Electric Engine

A small electric aircraft concept named “Puffin” has been created by an engineer from NASA. The aircraft also has the ability to take off and land from a vertical position. The small aircraft that can only be loaded by one person might soon occupy your garage.

The zero emission aircraft designed for personal flights will be able to fly with maximum speed up to 241 kph. The Puffin designer, Mark Moore, claims that the aircraft battery will be able to bring the aircraft up to 80 km distance. This small aircraft only has 136 kg weight and 45 kg of battery weight.The length of the aircraft is 3.7m and the wingspan width is 4.4m.

The unique one of the plane is that the passenger position is standing parallel to the plane’s position when going off. The plane will take off straight up, then as the straight forward position, the position of the passenger is prone position facing the front glass.

The four legs of aircraft tails support the aircraft’s position to be able to stand when willing to take off or landing and it will closes during flight. The aircraft planned to launched in the next few decades.
