Eco friendly transportation does not only mean hybrid cars nowadays. The aviation group also has created their own version of eco-friendly plane called the Oriens Glider – an energy-efficient glider. Designed by Roland Cernat, it is completely made of recyclable materials. It also runs on clean energy and has a contemporary translucent shell finished with shiny organic contours. The eco-friendly materials of the Oriens Glider include a lightweight flax bio-compound that is CO2 neutral and recyclable that is used for its frame. The glider’s transparent body is made of polycarbonate, which can also be recycled. Finally, its wings are crested with photovoltaic cells that causes for an emission-free flight.
