These guys built a jet so small you can hardly believe this is a manned aircraft.
But it is.
It’s about the same size as a Fiat 500, even though it is a lot faster.
And it is also a record holder.

The guys who run the Aircraft Model Art YouTube channel built a plane that’s the size of a kei car.
They actually did things by the book, though.
The plane has been tested on the ground and in the water, and its aerodynamic design was also refined to make it effective.
Because of its tiny size, the plane requires a flight speed of at least 100 km/h to generate enough lift to take off.
That is why, in order to maximize the strength-to-weight ratio – so to speak – they used…
