Here are NASA’s most exciting future aircraft concepts.
According to the plan, these novel NASA aircraft ideas can be applied by 2025. Pictured is a futuristic aircraft design concept conceived by NASA’s research partner Lockheed Martin, with the goal of spend a supersonic plane in the future.
Concept of a supersonic ground plane at NASA’s Langley Research Center. The plane is shaped like a giant arrow.
The aircraft has a special design, with the wings and fuselage connected. It could become a model for passenger planes in the coming decades, helping to save fuel compared to today’s split-wing aircraft.
Computer simulations show that the aircraft model is exactly like a true winged bird, which is said to be very efficient and quiet when flying over a densely populated area.
The concept of a plane with a box-shaped wing design is made possible by modern materials, high technology and advancements in the aircraft’s landing gear.
This invention focuses on aerodynamic wing design. The engines will be inserted into the upper surfaces of the wings to achieve maximum noise shielding effect.
Model a futuristic supersonic aircraft design, which could help reduce pressure from sound waves and reduce drag.
The subsonic aircraft concept uses a boxy wing design to reduce drag and save fuel.
This is the future supersonic aircraft design concept of the Lockheed Martin team. Simulation tools show that the aircraft can significantly reduce the level of supersonic booms through the use of an inverted landing engine.
Model Icon-II, future aircraft design concept for supersonic aircraft by the Boeing Company research team. The design achieves the goal of reducing fuel consumption and airport noise.
