    Designed to inspire people to fly, Chief Designer Kirk Hawkins told Bloomberg that he looked to Tesla cars for inspiration, where travel and adventure go hand-in-hand. ‘This plane has elevated the flying experience first, so you have a very visceral connection with the flying environment. We want to make the barrier to entry lower for anyone whose dream is to fly.”

If you pass the training, you are in for aviation thrill of a lifetime: possessing foldable wings, the plane can be stored in a garage and unfolded in two minutes. Wherever you take the plane you can land, be it on water, dirt strip or a traditional runway. You can also transport it yourself on a trailer, take it on holiday or away for the weekend.
