Super Light Airliners

The DIY Wooden Aircraft is Economical and Energy Efficient

Fuelled by an original Peugot AX 106 engine and ribs consisting of foam, this light DIY wooden aircraft is one-of-a-kind. The airship's technical features include a main gear made of glass epoxy, wheels with hydraulic disc brakes and a suspension consisting of plastic rings.

However, fuel and energy efficiency are not all this little plane has to offer -- this piece can also be built in a normal car garage at the minimal cost of 8,000 euros!
