The Hemp Plane is being built using an
existing design. Doing this helps to cut costs
by eliminating the timely and expensive
prototype phase.
Utilising a model that already works is
assuring that the Hemp Plane takes to the
skies with 100% success.
Everything on the plane, that is usually made
from fiberglass and other non-sustainable
materials are being replaced with hemp.
Our Hemp Plane and other eco, green and
sustainable products are always built with
over 75% Hemp and we are always working
towards doing more.

Hemp is truly a diverse plant that’s edible,
build able, sustainable and environmentally
friendly, creating a clean, eco, sustainable
future.
Standard composite fibres are toxic /
carcinogenic / severe health impact on
personnel
Hemp is renewable / reusable / sustainable
Hemp is stronger / lighter / mold and mildew
resistant
Hemp is not toxic / flame retardant / impact
resistant / biodegradable
Our Revolutionary, Innovative, eco, green
and sustainable Hemp Aircraft's and other
uniquely designed products are unlike
anything to ever exist on planet.
Hemp is lb for lb stronger than steel, lighter,
flame retardant and leaves virtually a zero
footprint on the environment.
Hemp is also the most bio diverse crop on
earth and over 25,000 uses and counting,
From food, clothes, soaps, ropes, oils, and
more, hemp truly is a super plant that is taking
part in saving the planet!
The World's First Hemp Plane will be built by
Hempearth Group and Manufactured in
(Sebastian, Florida). Hempearth understands
every step from design to direct fulfillment of
finished aircraft.
The Hempearth Team began collaborating
with an aircraft manufacturer and vendor with
the testing stage almost 3 years ago in
Sebastian, Florida.
After tests were completed and a signed
manufacturing contract was in place,
Hempearth formed a strategic partnership
with a US manufacturing team to ensure ‘The
World's First Hemp aircraft’ was designed for
high quality, and high performance.
The Hempearth team includes highly skilled
aeronautical engineers, mold makers,
machinists and composite experts with over
20
years
of
experience in
aircraft building
which reduces the
risks and
challenges
tremendously.
