which country because cessna is a canadian company and I seriously doubt that they will be even able to make a private jet run off by solar

I like the Crustacean Mustang. My sister plays with a pink one that has Barbie on the side of it.

that would be cool to have a 747 for a private jet. it'd be hell to keep up, and fuel though. I still think one of the ultimate private planes would be a DC3. I love the way WWII era piston driven planes look, and sound. Especialy the f4u.

There is a difference, you know, about futuristic and STUPID. Do you really think solar power will ever be able to power a jet? Look up what a jet engine is, it cannot run without fuel. STFU.

You can buy some full-sized Boeing (like the charter ones) from the '80s for under $2,5 mill. So yes, you can :) I don't know about the state of the machinery, though :)

2.6 mil.? Can't you get a much bigger private jet for that. A used one perhaps?

i agree with you - but solar wont work for a plane until its in the air - the problem is how to get it in the air if it is using an environmentally friendly fuel.

"Old junk that didn't work"??
The Mustang works just FINE.
I doubt anyone interested in an VLJ would really care to have a solar-powered electric prop plane!

That's exactly what is wrong this country! Futuristic turbines? What's up with that garbage? If it is not electric and solar it's NOT futuristic at all; it's plain and simple more of the old junk that didn't work. 747s are now beeing grounded because of fuel consumption - how futuristic is that! |
