Russia announces small aircraft such as automobiles

Russia's RT has launched an image of a tiny aircraft called the Sigma-5 that can collapse the wings into a garage. It is considered as a means of personal contribution to reduce road congestion.

Products of the Russian Aircraft Design Company have a load of up to 600 kg and reach speeds of nearly 300 km / h.

The Sigma-5 is smaller than a helicopter, able to fold wings, causing negligible noise. The takeoff and landing approach is the same as conventional aircraft but does not require dedicated runways. Propulsion at the Sigma-5 tail does not produce strong winds like a helicopter, so it does not pose a problem to those who stand by it.

Just a few meters away, the Sigma-5 can take off lightly and fly in the air like no other small military aircraft. This vehicle can carry two people, including pilots and their companions. Any plane can be 'runway' for Sigma-5 to land. It can park and move like a big car on the road.

Producers hope this will be the aircraft of the future and present in the garage of the family. They claim that when the road is stuck traffic jam, this is the solution to release traffic density on the road. The price of the Sigma-5 has not been announced yet, but can be compared to a luxury car.
