NASA Designs All-Electric Super Quiet Aircraft
NASA is currently designing an electric one-man airplane, named the Puffin which could mark a new dawn in air travel technology.
With two prop electric engines, lithium phosphate batteries and a top speed of almost 300 mph, the vertical take off and landing aircarft was originally designed for covert military insertions because it has a lower heat signature than combustion engines.
The Puffin is also super quiet – 10 times quieter than current low-noise helicopters, and since the engine is electric, it has no flight ceiling and can fly up to 9,150 meters high, uninhibited by thin air.
Sounds like an interesting concept for the rich who owns their personal airplanes to reduce carbon footprint.
