FlyNano aircraft

While the world’s aircraft giants are building even bigger and more spacious airliners, such as the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental, other companies are thinking about how to make airplanes small and accessible to literally everyone. Here the plane FlyNano (where in our time without the prefix “nano”?) is exactly the variant, which everyone is trying to achieve for a long time. After all, the weight of this tiny aircraft is only 70 kilograms!

This quite small weight of this flying vehicle is achieved by maximally light construction of the hull made wholly of carbon composite fiber. Of course, this aircraft will not fly in a thunderstorm or in a strong side wind. So its closest analog among land vehicles can be called a bicycle or moped.

But at a specified weight of the aircraft itself, FlyNano can lift up to 200 kilograms in the air. So even very fat people can fly this flying machine. True, they will necessarily need to be able to swim, because this tiny plane can take off only from the water and land only on the water. In general, the inhabitants of the desert area it will be of no use.

The minimum speed of the FlyNano is 70 kilometers per hour, maximum – 200. Aki Suokas considers the optimum speed of 140 kilometers per hour, at which 75 percent of the engine power is involved. FlyNano has a flight ceiling of 3 kilometers.

In the version with a gasoline engine FlyNano will be able to fly up to 70 kilometers on one tank. The electric engine reduces this range to 40 kilometers, but makes the plane quieter and more economical.

As expected, FlyNano will go on sale in August this year in three variants: two types of gasoline engines (24 and 35 horsepower) and one type of electric motor. Moreover, the most expensive model of this aircraft will cost 27 thousand euros (39 thousand U.S. dollars).
