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!
