Electric Planes Take Off

A Boeing 747 burns one gallon of fuel every single second. That's 36,000 gallons on a 10-hour flight.

NASA and Google challenged engineers to fix this mess. The winner? An electric plane

called the Pipistrel Taurus G4 that gets 403 miles per gallon per person. Four times more

efficient than a 747, zero gas needed. NASA just handed them 1.3 million

dollars to start mass production. Electric planes are actually happening.
