Hunter's comment

NASA has come up with this beautifully designed plane which can take off like a helicopter and fly like an aircraft. It is controlled by batteries and contains 10 engines.

Bill Fredericks is an aerospace engineer, who says, this design could be used for delivering small packages.

Out of 10 engines, two are placed on the tail and four at left and four at right side on the wings. This design balances the aerodynamics.

The plane has 10-foot wingspan with highly powered electric motors. While take off its two motors installed on the tail weighs around 28Kg.

One other advantage to the GL-10 besides its versatile vertical take off and landing ability is its noise or lack of it. "It's pretty quiet," said Fredericks. "The current prototype is quieter than a neighbor mowing the law with a gas-powered motor."

It's an airplane that flies in the sky by operating an electric motor with batteries made by NASA. It is impressive that there are 10 motors. I saw the plane take-off and landing vertically. What NASA does is cool.

Impressive Hunt, Your Hunt just got Verified!

Hi @ aamirijaz, super hunting.
The electric aircraft is the vehicle of the future.
He is good for shipping shipment.
The engine layout - 4 on the left wind, 4 on the right wing and 2 on the tail allow for great stability (like a helicopter).
No noise and environmentally friendly.
If when it is possible to power the battery with solar energy
(solar charging high efficiency) on the airplane itself this is will be a "full hit".
Vertical takeoff means that you do not need a large track (airport) so it will be practical for quick use.
This is another great products.

Good luck with hunting.

This is an electric plane built by NASA's technology. What else do you need?
Awesome

i think with 10 engines, this shit can lift me off the ground lol, thank you very much for your hunt~

Hey, this is really cool. I don't know why it needs ALL ten engines. Perhaps to carry a heavy load, or to maintain balance better. Anyways, really neat find. I don't know how you even found of this.

Thanks for your kind words. I also think the 10 engines are for balancing. I had to dig deeper in order to find this cool product by well known organization. By the way have you approved it?

@aamirijaz I am not much aware about air crafts. But this hunt attracted because you mentioned "10 Engine" & NASA - so this will be great product for sure.

Keep hunting my friend

I think electrical planes are the new future eco thing and this hunt would be a new evolution thanks for sharing mate

Hi!! Can you deliver me a bunch of pizza at my house? Haha. Anyway, I am really glad to know that this was invented. This might deliver a small sort of items. :)

An electric plane that take off like helicopter and fly like an aircraft, designed by NASA definitely is topnotch and it usefulness is all encompassing
