The era of eco aircraft is here! The range of creative thinking that goes into making eco aircraft practical and desirable is truly heart-stopping. There are personal planes and freight blimps and jets that run on bio-fuel. You can even pedal your way around the sky if you like.
With all of the eco aircraft innovation taking flight, it will be interesting to see if the cost of air travel and of owning personal air transportation will also become more affordable.
