Aircraft of the Future

Aircraft of the Future:

Check out the really cool website called Aircraft of the Future. It has artist’s renderings and other concept projections of imaginative designs for future aircraft. The ingenuity and the artistry – featuring sweeping curves and dramatic, functional designs. The aircraft are beautiful as well as multifunctional.

The designs include a seaplane-convertible sailing yacht, a sailboat-convertible seaplane, large capacity interurban aerial transport, “Flagellum oscillator” – billed as “Alternate solution to traditional propulsion system” and – what is sure to be a favorite: Honeymoon space shuttle “Space Shuttle for a weightlessness honeymoon”, complete with bedroom pods which are to be placed in orbit and then return to earth via parachute.


All of the designs have multiple Flash Player-based renderings which are fascinating to view.


The designer does not wish his name and the name of his current employer stated, but the fact that he is a former colleague and describes himself as “an interior designer for a plane manufacturer in Toulouse,” provides a good clue regarding his employer, if not his name, which for this project he calls himself “Yelken Octuri”. He states, “Several concepts of futuristic, imaginary, science-fiction planes. You can call them what you want, the goal is to create dream planes. You can view the interior layout of some of these aircraft concepts.”
