Investigation 5
For Investigation 5 we had to find an Innovative aircraft that has not been invented yet or is new and cant be bought locally.
Gerardo chose NASA`s Pathfinder which is an unmanned solar panel powered aircraft. All the solar arrays, located atop the aircraft`s wings, provide up to 8,000 W of power by absorbing the sunlight at a high noon on a summer day. The Pathfinder can fly for 2 - 5 hours ranging from a speed of 15 - 20 mph. It was also originally made to demonstrate the capabilities of solar powered aircrafts.
On the other hand Aidan chose the Imperial Cruiser from Star Wars, which is basically a giant space ship which can hold smaller ships that are used in space warfare, it is also able to travel through space instantaneously due to its warp drive capability.
