Spirit Airplane (not the airline!)
If this turns out to just be some kind of AI generated hoax, I am going to quit the internet!

The Spirit Engineering SE 1:



If I was twenty years younger, I would be selling plasma to come up with the very reasonable $70K price tag. This thing just looks amazing. Not really "practical", but absolutely excellent at looking good. And, apparently, being not just affordable to buy, but to operate, at 2 gallons per hour at 100 MPH.

And... The wings fold for storage.

They could put movable control surfaces on those wheel pants.



Serious about crackers.

Best part is that it looks like it’s an LSA as far as the FAA is concerned…

Almost makes me think I should go for it!

It's real, I've watched a couple Youtube vids on it. I think it's a fat ultralight.

As interesting as it looks, no-way would I pay $70,000 for it!
