Launched more fuel-efficient cars than cars
Many people think that, because the aircraft fly faster, so naturally the cost will be more expensive than the car. NASA's Green Flight Challenge 2011 has launched a new type of personal jet that consumes less fuel than many other family vehicles.

The Synergy could carry up to five people with a 40-mile-per-gallon fuel consumption of about 17km / l, much less than a small jet.

The special features of the aircraft are in the tail section in box shape. This dynamic design will help reduce the air resistance of the aircraft while it is in flight, helping it to conserve less fuel. Test flights with a quarter-size model have proven that.

Not achieving high speeds like the current aircraft should Synergy be reserved for short distance flights at medium speed. Its speed can reach 160 - 720km / h. Synergy has a wingspan of 10 meters and uses biodiesel fuel.
The team is still doing experiments on the simulation model. They hoped the plane would soon be produced. It can not immediately replace the family car but will probably inspire a new generation of planes - cheap fuel-efficient planes.
