Reinventing the Plane – Kickstarter fundraising efforts helping Synergy aircraft take off in Kalispell, Montana

Since its unveiling last spring, John McGinnis’ prototype aircraft, the Synergy, has been hailed as a visionary project that could exemplify the future of personal aviation.

McGinnis and a team of designers in Kalispell are in the early stages of developing a full-sized aircraft that could seat up to five people, travel safer and faster than average small airplanes and with 10 times more fuel efficiency.

After a scale model was introduced and flown in April 2011, videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDIXDRBJis have spread across the Internet, grabbing the attention of the aeronautics community. The early prototype garnered the "Most Innovative" award from Sport Aviation Magazine in June.

McGinnis describes Synergy as a catalyst in aviation.
