What if we told you that cannabis could actually have you flying high? And I mean legitimately flying, not just your regular mowing the grass trips.
Well, a Canadian company has done just that, by creating a plane which is entirely made and powered by cannabis.
Cannabis company Hempearth has created the hemp-fuelled flight, which is made out of composite hemp fibres and said to 10 times stronger than steel.
The plane has a wing span of 36 feet and can fit one pilot and four passengers, thanks to its light-weight build.
But, it doesn’t stop there, in fact, far from it, because all of the interior walls, seats and pillows are all also made out of hemp too.
Hempearth’s CEO Derek Kesek believes that the hemp composite material which is being used to build the plane ‘could replace all fibreglass in aviation and many other industries.’
However, what is arguably the best thing about the aircraft, is the fact that it runs entirely from hemp oil, meaning it’s completely sustainable. Hemp is a completely environmentally friendly material, thanks to the fact it doesn’t require much water to grow and is nutritious to the soil it grows in.
