Engineers from NASA's Langley's Research Center have unveiled plans to build a personal aircraft.

Meet the Puffin. It's an airplane concept conjured up by the mind of aerospace engineer Mark Moore.

Moore came up with the design for the electric powered, 12-foot (3.7 m)
long, 14.5-foot (4.4 m) wingspan personal air vehicle as part of the
coursework for his doctoral degree.
