Slow-Motion Plane Demonstrated With 27 MPH Drift
MIT professor Otto Koppen and Harvard instructor Lynn Bollinger unveil a helioplane that can fly at 27 mph and land on a tennis-court sized field. The two say it won’t stall or spin, clears a five-story building from 100 yards, and descends slower than a parachutist with a forward speed of 27 mph. The two-seat high wing monoplane uses a large wing span and propeller with an 85 horsepower engine.
