Every weekday, weather permitting, Frantisek Hadrava throws on a white scarf and a leather helmet before he takes the scenic route to work.
Instead of commuting by car, Hadrava has built himself a speedier option: an ultra lightweight plane called Vampira.
The 45-year old from the Czech village of Zdikov cut his 14-minute commute to his 6 a.m. shift at a local factory in half. And since he's considerate of those sleeping below, he takes the long way.
"By plane, it would take around four to five minutes if I flew directly, but I take a bit of a detour so that I don’t disturb people early in the morning. So it takes about seven minutes,” Hadrava told Reuters.
The open cockpit plane, which hits a maximum speed of 146 km (91 miles) an hour, sports a 3-cylinder engine, Reuters reported. The mostly-wood plane cost about €3,700 ($4,200) to build.
Hadrava has a simple system for parking at the machine tool factory roughly 10-miles from his home. He lands in a nearby meadow and pushes the plane into a car lot. It spans across up to four spaces.
