    Later scientists plan to make a hovering board that people can pilot/stand on to carry them through the air to another destanation. A hoverpod/hovercraft

  • Future Milestone-Aviation on Alternate source

    Planes/flying machines soar high above the Earth making them nearer to the sun. I think they could you use this to an advantadge. Absorbing solar/lunar energy, planes can fly without emitting emmitions.

  • Future Milestone-Long periods of aviation

    I think later on, they will be able to make types of flying machines that hit over 1000mph and not destroy the passanger and/or have enough thrust to reach Pluto.
