1. Darren Quick on Eurocopter's X3 hybrid helicopter demonstrator at gizmag. One look at the design of this aircraft would tell you it's unique. Aside from the reported 232-knot top speed achieved during its third flight, it has two propellers on both sides, installed on two short-span wings.
2. Noel McKeegan on the first international flight of Solar Impulse at gizmag. Talk about an airplane without having to carry its own fuel on board. The beginnings of a new era in aviation has begun.
3. Ben Coxworth on Jetman flying over the Grand Canyon at gizmag. Suddenly, everybody wants to have a device like the one strapped on his back!
