Building the Impossible Airplane for the First Armless Pilot

After seeing the impact that is made when Jessica visits youth with her airplane, Jessica decided to go one step further and design the first solely foot controlled airplane in history. The modified RV-10 (currently in development) will allow her to reach more people more quickly and epitomize the message that “DISABILITY DOES NOT MEAN INABILITY.”

Please join us and meet the wonderful pilot, speaker, and learn more about the wonderful efforts and journey, as well as the great efforts for building the amazing "Impossible Airplane"!

In 2020, Jessica announced plans to build The Impossible Airplane, a custom 200 mph, 4 seat airplane she will use to circumnavigate the world. When she’s not flying off into the sunset, Jessica continues to train in Taekwondo, where she’s a Fourth Degree Black Belt.
