A YouTuber found an unusual ad for a spaceship plane on Facebook Marketplace and decided to investigate.
He got in touch with the company behind the spaceship, and he was given access to the company’s warehouse.
Not only is the plane real, but the company actually has a lot of cool stuff in the warehouse.
What started as a DIY project is now a proper aerospace company.

A plane that looks like a spaceship
A YouTuber who goes by Nathan Espinoza shared a video of the plane.
It all started with an unusual ad for a spaceship-like plane he found on Facebook Marketplace.
As it turns out, this is more than just a one-off designed by a DIY enthusiast.
It started out as a DIY plane, but it then evolved into a whole line-up of products built by a company called Veloce.
Based out of Chicago, Illinois, Veloce Planes is an aerospace company specializing in experimental airplanes.
The YouTuber was given access to the plane in question, and he was also able to tour the warehouse where Veloce keeps most of its prototypes.
They even have a giant box-like structure that’s actually an ‘oven’ where they make the composite parts of the plane.
When DIY projects are taken to the next level
Some people are genuinely very good at DIY.
In this case, we’re not even sure we can call it a DIY project since there’s a whole company behind it, but it’s not the first time somebody has taken matters into their own hands when they want something the market simply doesn’t offer.
A lot of people did that with Cybertruck.
Tesla’s truck was first teased in 2019, but Tesla took so long to actually unveil a production model that several people built their own.
Among those, we found humorous ones built just for fun, but also proper vehicles that looked incredibly solid and well made, like the one somebody built starting from a Ford Raptor.
But the crown must go to the guy who built an accurate and faithful reproduction of a Boeing 737 cockpit.
It’s so good even actual licensed pilots were shocked.
