Revolutionary Aircraft Concepts

In 2014, Spike Aerospace announced plans for what the world's first supersonic business jet, one capable of breaking the sound barrier, and traveling at Mach 1.8. The S-512 supersonic jet would have no windows (to decrease drag). Instead, the cabin would be lined with screens that could display the landscape outside.

Innovative Safety Features

Ukrainian inventor Vladimir Tatarenko has come up with a concept for a plane with a cabin that can eject itself in the event of an aviation emergency. Some experts question whether it's viable.

Hypersonic Travel Advancements

SART researchers at the Institute of Space Systems in Bremen, Germany, unveiled their SpaceLiner concept last year. This hypersonic jet could potentially travel from London to Melbourne in 90 minutes.

Speed Innovations

The Skreemr concept design sparked debate in 2015. Its designers claim that it could travel at speeds as fast as Mach 10, reaching New York from London in 30 minutes.

Self-Healing Technology

Last year, a team from Bristol University in England developed technology that could repair cracks on an aircraft in a similar way that human skin heals. The researchers say it could be introduced in five to ten years.

Large Passenger Aircraft Concepts

Errikos Levis of Imperial London College designed a concept for a family of transatlantic seaplanes that could carry up to 2,000 passengers. The plane would feature a blended wing body, and the engine would live on top of the plane.

Sustainable Aviation Innovations

In 2015, designer and aviation enthusiast Oscar Vinals designed a triple-decker concept plane called the AWWA Progress Eagle, which he imagined carrying up to 800 passengers and running on solar power and hydrogen.
