I think most of you might have already read this news, hence this post is dedicated to those who haven't heard about this "world's first hemp powered plane".
I read this article The World’s First Plane Made and Powered by Hemp
The article states that a Canadian Cannabis Company "Hempearth Group" has designed an airplane that is actually made up of Hemps i.e most of the plane body parts are made out of hemp/cannabis plants being said that hemp is 2 times stronger than the steel. Also, the plane will use biofuel out of hemp. Isn't it exciting??
The company has put into motion the plans to build the world’s first plane made from and powered by hemp. The plane has even been designed to run on HEMPEARTH Hemp Jet A Bio Fuel. The wings, seats, plane walls and pillows are all set to be manufactured from hemp.
Lighter than aluminum, stronger than steel, consumes less fuel.
According to Hempearth, “…traditional aerospace materials are heavier than hemp and toxic and not sustainable. Most manufacturers use aluminum and fiberglass to built planes. Hemp is significantly lighter and therefore requires a lot less fuel to get up in the sky.”
