First, it was a car named Nano that hogged the limelight and now it is a new single-seat aircraft christened FlyNano, which will help people fly the easier way. Aeronautical engineer Aki Suokas unveiled this cute aircraft at Aero Friedrichshafen. You will be astonished to learn that this lightweight aircraft weighs just 70 kg.
Crafted out of carbon fiber composite, it will be available in three versions: a 20kW electric-only version, and petrol-engined 24 bhp and 35 bhp models. The 35 bhp model will be a racing version which will without any doubt talk speed while the electric version pledges to cover a distance of 40 km. The electric version will not produce loud blaring noise, thanks to its low torque and minimum vibration. Since FlyNano is a one-seater plane, it is but obvious that only one person can travel in it. To fly one, you don’t need any special license.
The mini plane comes with a capacity to touch a top speed of 140 km/h, and a 3 km service ceiling. FlyNano has a 200 kg takeoff weight with five meters of wingspan. Coming with a price tag of just EUR 27,000 (US$39,000) are the most expensive version, the ex-factory and ex-VAT. A piece of good news is that FlyNano is ready to take flight after three months, so if your dream is to fly anytime, book one today.
