Hemp Plane Running Off Hemp Fuel A Reality Within A Year

Canadian Derek Kesek is designing what will arguably be the most sustainable plane in the world. No less than 75% of this aircraft will be constructed with hemp, while the fuel source will consist of hemp bio-fuel. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you probably already know that hemp is the most sustainable and versatile plant known to humans, so it makes sense to use it for air travel.

If all goes to plan, Kesek is set to fly the 4 seater hemp plane this Fall (2015) or next spring (2016) from Kitty Hawk, N.C., site of the Wright Brothers’ historic take off.

Kesek is a former organic restaurant owner and founder of Hempearth, a company created to provide hemp products to the masses.
