- It is the first-ever plane having no moving parts in propulsion system, as it does not carry propellers or turbines and also not depends on fossil fuels to fly.
- At present, every aircraft has moving parts such as propellers, turbine bladespowered by combustion of fossil fuels producing a whining buzz.
- It is inspired from movie and television series “Star Trek”.
