NASA engineers are developing a one person flying machine that combines a multitude of transportation dreams into a single little flying vehicle called the Puffin. It takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane. The engineers anticipate that the Puffin will cruise at 140 mph and shift into a super mode to hit about twice that. And it's electric.
NASA unveiled the Puffin at the American Helicopter Society meeting in San Francisco. NASA plans to finish a one-third size demonstrator by March 2010 and see how well it transitions from cruising to hovering.
I can't imagine who would fly one of these high tech monstro...I mean helicopters, so it must be for the military.
