American engineers have introduced the innovative concept Her0 Zero Emissions Airplane passenger aircraft, which could be one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel the world, according to Travel and Leisure. The aircraft has a very futuristic look, reminding "warped letter T". Aircraft wings are moved towards its rear, and their ends are bent up. This is necessary to achieve a balance, as there will be heavy batteries in the tail section. The electrically-powered rear screws provide a traction for aircraft move. According to experts, the unique shape of Her0 is able to turn over the entire aviation industry.

According to engineers, the aircraft is driven by electric screws, not fuel engines. The speed is a little slower than with modern aircrafts. But in return - zero carbon emissions. Despite the fact that the aircraft is still only on paper, engineers have already begun a cooperation with famous designer Joe Duset, who should help to make it a reality.

According to the independent Air Transport Action Group date, global aviation industry currently produces only about 2% of all human carbon emissions. However, there has already been a tendency in the world to search for more environmentally friendly flight options. Thus, in December, Canada launched the world's first fully electric commercial flight. It lasted about 15 minutes. The aircraft manufacturer Airbus is also working on electric aircraft creation.
