Is this the future of airliners?

Take a first look at the AWWA-QG Progress Eagle, a concept aircraft that would generate its own electricity and be 75% quieter than current airliners.

That is pretty cool. Just make sure you give me some damn leg room. I swear they makes planes as uncomfortable as possible.

At least he's come up with a design. It's the first step, obviously there needs to be modifications before the final thing.

Interesting Spanish design. Well, they invented the autogyro/helicopter and the submarine, among many other things.

I see a lot of comments claiming this is impossible and it makes me angry, there are a lot of things that once seemed impossible like facetime but now they are reality.

If you put enough wind turbines on it, you can generate more power then you need right? lol

[IGenesiSxz]

design it so it automaticly rejects muslims from the plane :)

[mattheworgill]

putting a wind turbine on a vehicle that requires propulsion...just about the most stupid thing I've hear

[idkfred]

No No No this would not make any sense to an airline, a plane that doesn't have use tons of very expensive fuel... Gotta keep those airline tickets pricey.
