Airplane Design of the Future

Progress Eagle

It’s a triple-decked, eco-friendly, hybrid jet airliner that would house its 800 seats into the air with six hydrogen fuel engines and keep them there with its rear electric wind generators for sustained flight.

Solar panels on the roof of the plane would absorb solar energy and clever engineering would reduce drag as well as the sound of the plane flying through the air by 75%. Materials like carbon fibre, graphene, ceramic, aluminium, titanium, and a shape-memory alloy would increase efficiency by making the plane lighter.

The Eagle would be larger than even the largest planes today. Its wingspan measures an impressive 315 feet, besting even the largest wingspan flying today — the Airbus A380’s 262 feet wingspan. Fortunately, the Eagle’s thin-yet-enormous wings would fold up for taxi and storage.

But the adjustments to your flying experience continue, as the plane would also make room for a new class of cabin, “pilot’s class.” This seating class would face right out the front window of the plane for a spectacular view. Designer Oscar Viñals.

The Eagle is a futuristic airliner design — so futuristic that the technology for all of its advancements hasn’t even been invented yet — and likely wouldn’t be feasible until at least the middle of the century.
