" College students in Singapore have designed and built what they&amp;#039;re calling the world&amp;#039;s lightest electric paraglider trike, a remarkably bare-bones flying machine. Eight engineering students at the National University of Singapore (NUS), built the Delta in response to a challenge from a new show on National Geographic, Machine Impossible.          The students have built a remarkable device. Weighing just 108 pounds, the Delta can carry a person weighing up to 165. It can hit speeds up to 21 mph for a flight time of ten minutes. To put that in context, the Wright Brothers&amp;#039; first flyer could hit 30 mph, but it also weighed 608 pounds. The Delta is powered by electric motors each weighing three pounds, and includes several safety protection measures such as a roll cage, fiberglass rods for a smoother landing, and barrier nets between the pilot and the propellers. The motors and the propellors are powered by two lithium polymer batteries. The students operated out of a student-run and student-founded design and prototyping studio for green vehicles called FrogWorks. FrogWorks has some experience with single-person flight, they also built an electric aircraft called Snowstorm. Source: Strait Times "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
