AWWA SKY WHALE (electric aircraft)

This ultra-futuristic aircraft is not a sci-fi creation. Actually it's a Oscar Viñals concept/project for the next-gen aircrafts. Yes it is [u] electric[/u]. It has 4 engines alimented by electricity and hydrogen. For this feature, it will be [u] more silencer[/u] than actual aircrafts. It is not ended here: its 4 engines have the ability to rotate by 45°, which helps the pilots at the take off and improves the maneuverability in dangerous situations. [u] Three floors[/u]: -[b] the top one[/b]: It's the 1st class floor.... Much more lux than the actual ones. Sky visual. -[b] the middle one[/b]: It's the floor for the new touristic class which have more lux. Sky visual. -[b] the lower[/b] The actual touristic class. It will have [u] active wings[/u]. It will have [u] solar panels[/u] on the top of the fuselage and wings. And much more other stuff... I'm so excited. I want fly on this thing one day... [spoiler] they only need a company as the Lufthansa. But the project seems to be ready[/spoiler] Concept video here:[url=https://youtu.be/beLUm4sDZZ8]YouTube[/url] For more info:[url=https://www.behance.net/gallery/AWWA-Sky-Whale-Concept-Plane/11891085]official Oscar Viñal Bēhance[/url]

    I'm a bit of an aviation nut, so I find this pretty cool. Something like this could stay airborne for a very long time, and save fuel costs (everyone feels that one). The design is a bit odd, but cool anyways. A lot of smaller companies are actually putting out prototypes, like the Pipestrel Taurus. I would also like to point out that electric planes are a hell of a lot quieter too. So there would be a lot less noise complaints from people living near the airport. Looks like it would be awesome to fly in.
