Hempearth Group is set to build the world’s first plane made from and powered by HEMP. Not only is the plane set to run on HEMPEARTH Hemp Jet A Bio Fuel, but it is set to be built almost entirely from HEMP. Everything from the seats, the wings, the plane walls and even the pillows are set to contain hemp composites which the company has been developing its own over the last couple of years with a Montreal and Australian company. These Hemp aviation composites are un like anything every been done on the planet, and shall revolutionize the way many things are constructed including, aircraft, boats, cars.
Some Details About The World’s First HEMP Plane
The world’s first plane made from and powered by HEMP can hold one pilot and four very lucky passengers. The plane’s wingspan is 36 feet.
Why Build A Plane Made From Hemp?
HEMP/Cannabis, in addition to being one of the world’s healthiest, and most versatile plants on earth, HEMP is pound for pound 10 times stronger than steel. This means that it can withstand a lot more weight before it breaks, and it can bend way further than metal. Great for Aviation.
Additionally, traditional aerospace materials are heavier than hemp, toxic and not sustainable. Most manufacturers use aluminum and fiberglass to built planes. Hemp is significantly lighter and therefore requires a lot less fuel to get up in the sky.
Most importantly, hemp is an environmentally friendly material. Hemp requires way less water and land to grow than cotton and even puts nutrients back into the soil through a process called phytoremeditation.
Compared to steel, which requires mining, or carbon fiber, produced from plastic, hemp has almost no environmental impact.
Who Developed It
Canadian brand Hempearth and the leader in HEMP and Marijuana developed the world’s first HEMP plane. Founded in 2014, Hempearth a variety of products. Florida company, Velocity, Inc. is set to manufacture the plane and a signed manufacturing contract is in place. Hempearth Group is also just finishing up some never been developed HEMP composites now in Australia post pandemic that is set to replace all fiberglass in aviation and many other industries.
Hempearth Founder Derek Kesek is interested in hemp as a sustainable material. “This is the kind of future we all want here on Earth,” Kesek says, hinting at hemp’s potential as a building material. Kesek and Hempearth are perfectly poised for more HEMP innovation with the USA’s recent legalization.
Final Hit: The World’s First Plane Made From And Powered By HEMP
Medically or otherwise, HEMPs uses are endless. With increased pollution from everything from mining to plastics to jet fuel, HEMP offers an environmentally friendly, and more efficient, way to travel. Also when the 1st HEMP Plane is completed it’s first flight is set to take place at The Wright Brother’s Memorial, In Kitty Hawk North Carolina the birthplace of aviation.
“Building a plane, especially out of Hemp and running it on Hemp Bio fuel is not about the destination, its about the journey. Keep watching!”
