Fun fact I see of this break of day : To skirt the pesky “ pilot ’s license ” thing that ’s typically required to take a potentially deadly craftsmanship into the wild gloomy yonder , just build something that ’s super - light and does not qualify as a aeroplane .
That ’s technically what pilot Aki Suokas did at the Aero Friedrichshafen this past week , where he unwrap the radical whippersnapper Fly Nano urine planing machine . It ’s a single - keister , gas - power aircraft that ’s just light enough to not qualify as an plane , and therefore require no pilot ’s license to aviate in most countries around the world .
And , better still for our dependable skies , the FlyNano also matter in light on price at about $ 39,000 . Pretty cheap ! The ceiling is 3 km , but if you want to catch a glimpse of one of these diminutive aeroplane you ’d be practiced off seek the water for oil color slicks , not the skies . [ bear Rich ]
