From today’s featured videos on YouTube: the world’s smallest twin-engine airplane. While Airbus rushes to get its super-jumbo, SUV-of-the-air on the market, it seems some flyers are willing to trust life-and-limb to aircraft that look like glorified radio-controlled toys.
The plane in the video is very real, though. Called the “Cri-Cri” it was designed in the 70’s by a French aeronautical engineer as a build-at-home kit. There are currently some 100 of these tiny terrors in use around the world.
