Aerospace Global News: The Impossible Airplane: World’s 1st foot-controlled aircraft readies for maiden flight in 2026
The first flight of the Impossible Aeroplane in June 2026, will expand the horizons for inclusive aviation design.
When aviator Jessica Cox climbs into the cockpit of her next aeroplane, she won’t reach for a yoke or rudder pedals with her hands — she’ll do it with her feet. Cox is building The Impossible Airplane, a truly foot-controlled aircraft designed from the ground up for pilots without arms. The project aims to expand what’s considered possible in flight and redefine inclusivity in aerospace.
