15 Plane Concepts That Will Change Travel Forever

In a world where people like to travel huge distances, aircraft are a vital part of our modern way of life. They allow us to cross continents in a matter of hours… but, as more people travel, the industry not only needs to look at ways of offering more capacity… but also doing so while significantly reducing the amount of pollution that’s released. The latest technologies have enabled aircraft designers to come up with ideas like never before, and by taking a completely different approach are beginning to shape what the industry will look like in the coming years. From fully electric power, to re-designed shapes, faster speeds, and entirely new fuels… it’s time to take to the skies, as we look through 15 plane concepts that will change travel forever.

They should bring the concord back who else agrees?

[anthonynarozniak]

I've been in the aerospace industry for 40 years and I've heard "this will change air travel forever" a thousand times, I can tell you now.... no it won't....

[henrysantos]

Excellent documentary, for the New future.
God bless you all fellas, .🙏.

Tyler Mac we want air Canada with Toronto maple leafs colors

[rexeverything]

Craig? You'll never catch me on one of those...

[andrewsvaz]

Embraer and Otto aren't mentioned because...?

[metgath]

You forgot about Virgin Galactic. Their goal is a low earth orbit space liner.

The one thing people who talk about electric or hydrogen powered vehicles never talk about is where do you get the electricity or hydrogen. If either were more efficient or less polluting, industry would have already adopted it. In most cases, we would burn the fuel on the ground to charge the batteries, then claim that the aircraft is zero emissions. This is just a shell game.

I makes me hopeful that there are so many possible solutions, and some that aren't too far from commercial reality. I think long haul may have to just look at being as efficient as they can with jet fuel. Although the synthetic fuel being developed for F1 might be an option.

The Cr929 no one that matters will want it

[oldmanuserphan]

"In a world where..." made me laugh for some reason.

[Xogroroth]

06'53"
Moog Incorporated?
So, it is a flying synthesizer?

[michaelwilliams]

50 years plus to catch up with Concorde's 1960s tech. The Tupolev famously crashed at the Paris airshow.

[ireneuszfus]

Yeah, right :D
I bet, in 40 years we'll still be flying in tubes with wings. Fuel might be different, but i'm sure shape will stay the same

That's what happens when there is a gesigner, but no one with a slight idea of a center of mass and a lifting force.
It's like a kid's picture. Fun, but totally impossible.

[barrybarlowe]

Oooo... Coal powered airplanes!

The electricity doesn't just magically appear. And battery manufacturing is VERY environmentally unfriendly.

[russellmigues]

People could say and what they think but I would never go in an electric plane, EVER

[henrycoats]

You can’t change travel when something’s so ridiculous, it’s never going to happen, waste of time and energy.

[CES]

Barriers are far from green ever google how a battery for an electric car is made u will chg ur mind on all the electric bs pretty quick

[BeachinBlaze]

there are plenty of us who will be willing to pay for a 3hr flight plus it could change the way private owned jets are used. "the rich" could uber fly with planes like the boom plane.
