Old flying machines gobble up fuel and pollute the atmosphere. But could we construct an airborne device that would itself produce green energy? At a former military airbase near Lisbon, Portuguese engineers are testing their latest prototype.
Um projeto português quer usar o vento para produzir energia mais barata e o Futuro Hoje foi conhecer a investigação. A empresa quer criar um novo sistema capaz de produzir energia, para além de económica, limpa e com balões.
