Is it Superman?
A UFO?
No.
It's the world's first airplane made from hemp, and powered by hemp oil.
The construction of this new high flyer makes more sense than most people realize.
The reason is that hemp is 10 times stronger than steel.
In addition, hemp is lighter than traditional aerospace materials (such as aluminum and fiberglass) so it requires less fuel to reach a high altitude.
Kudos to Hempearth, a Canadian cannabis firm for their innovative use of hemp in aviation.
Stay tuned for the high flyer's first flight which is set to take place at The Wright Brother's Memorial in Kitty Hawk North Carolina - the birthplace of aviation.
