Falx Air
"radical design leads to radical solutions"
''Falx' is a Latin word originally meaning sickle, but was later used to mean any of a number of tools that had a curved blade that was sharp on the inside edge such as a scythe. The word is also associated with certain birds of prey due to the sickle shaped leading edge of the wings when diving or at high speed.

It is essential to invent and involve new methods and new ideas."

conventional fuels, such as petroleum and natural gas, are
soaring and the impact on both consumer goods and food are now
steadily increasing making it even more difficult for our worlds
population to be maintained.
