00:00Ever since the Wright brothers first took flight in 1903, people have been trying to
00:05invent the next best type of plane, and there are some pretty wild designs out there.
00:11Join me for today's video as we take a look at 15 incredible concept planes.
00:17Number 15 Airbus Maverick Kicking off this list is an amazing future
00:22plane design from the folks at Airbus.
00:25They've brought us plenty of quality aircraft to date, many of which we've all flown in.
00:29So it should make sense to see that they've thrown their name into the hat with their
00:33Maverick plane.
00:34Short for Airbus model aircraft for validation and experimentation of robust innovative controls,
00:41the Maverick looks like it can cut right through the wind, foregoing turbulence altogether.
00:46But the new Airbus's design is pretty tough to miss, because the entire aircraft basically
00:51looks like one big giant wing and a missing fuselage.
00:55The Maverick is a pretty big risk for the company, because we all know that humans are creatures
00:59of habit and hate deviating from many of the designs that we're used to.
01:04And if tickets for the Maverick went on sale tomorrow, chances are for every person waiting
01:08in line to buy one, two more would steer clear.
01:12But on the flip side, the blended wing design is meant to cut down drastically on fuel consumption
01:17and carbon emissions, which is always a good thing.
01:20Instead of resting beneath the wings, the Maverick's two engines have been attached right to the rear
01:24stabilizer at the top of the aircraft, which will also allow for a smoother airflow over
01:28the plane.
01:29The Maverick design was revealed in 2020 at the Singapore Airshow, but we'll probably
01:34need a lot more time in the lab before we see one of these flying overhead.
01:40Number 14.
01:41TTBW
01:43If Airbus has already made it to the list, then you know Boeing is going to be right behind
01:48them.
01:49The first concept plane with the mouth full of a name is the Boeing Transonic Truss Braced
01:53Wing.
01:54But you can just call this one TTBW.
01:57And while this one at least looks like the airplanes we're accustomed to today, it still
02:01managed to thrust basic design into the future.
02:05Much like the name would imply, the TTBW comes complete with a truss bracing on the wings.
02:10It's a strange looking design, but the designers have claimed that this truss feature lets this
02:14new Boeing model fly higher and faster than those without it.
02:18And in this day and age, faster is always a good thing.
02:21But these significantly longer wings also make the TTBW far more aerodynamic than its predecessors,
02:27allowing it to cut through the headwinds and ride those tailwinds even harder at a flying
02:31speed of Mach 0.8.
02:34But the wings are also ultra-thin, making them more akin to that of a bird's wings.
02:38This thing manages to put a futuristic spin on a classic design without making it look like
02:43it's flown here from the future to show us a better way, which frankly makes it much
02:48more accessible to the average flyer.
02:51Number 13.
02:52Hero Zero.
02:54Sometimes, when it comes to planes, you need to take a Zero and turn it into a Hero.
02:59But in the case of this next aircraft, it's a Hero that leaves us with zero carbon emissions.
03:05The Hero Zero emissions airplane is one of the most interesting looking concept planes
03:09you'll ever see, with this one-of-a-kind T-shaped body.
03:12The Hero Zero was designed and developed by Joe Doucette with the intention of making this
03:17the Tesla of the skies.
03:18And from the looks of it, it looks like he's on the right track.
03:21The real test will come when the thing takes to the air, but until then, all I can do is
03:25hope, wait, and appreciate the thoughtfulness behind it.
03:28And because it's been compared to Tesla by the designers, you can bet that the Hero Zero
03:33is a totally electric and emissions-free aircraft.
03:36You can certainly hope to see a whole fleet of these in the near future, but this is yet
03:40to fly off the drawing board, and there's really no launch date in sight.
03:45But I guess we can all dream in the meantime.
03:47The Hero Zero missions aims to use batteries and electric generators to power the quite
03:51literally everything on the plane, from in-flight entertainment to the three rear-mounted propellers.
03:58Number 12, Flying V.
04:00This concept plane is dedicated to everyone who grew up with Coach Bombay and the Mighty Ducks,
04:06taking its name from the highly aerodynamic V formation used by flocks of birds.
04:11The Flying V was cooked up by the folks at KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
04:15This is another concept plane that looks like one giant wing, but this time around, passengers
04:20are going to be sitting in the aircraft's wings instead of the long cylindrical cabin.
04:26The design concept is certainly innovative, with the shape of the plane and the location
04:30of the engines making for a smoother and more eco-friendly experience.
04:33But this is another example of something that only exists in the minds of its creators.
04:39The mock-ups do look pretty great though, and if everything goes according to plan, the
04:42Flying V could help lead the vanguard of fuel-efficient vehicles, because of its ability to fly longer
04:47distances using far less fuel.
04:50It should come as no surprise that the commercial airplanes can weigh about 100,000 pounds alone,
04:56and require another 4,000 pounds worth of fuel to get them from point A to point B.
05:00But because the KLM Flying V Concept weighs significantly less, it will require much less fuel to get
05:06it going, as it glides on the wind currents.
05:0911.
05:10EADS Voltair
05:12Not only is the EADS Voltair one of the most interesting and unique concept planes, but it
05:18also just happens to be one of the greatest plays on words of all time.
05:22The EADS Voltair is a reminder that we must all cultivate our garden, only this time our garden
05:28is Planet Earth.
05:29This concept plane is a fully electric passenger plane that looks like an old submarine that
05:34was fused together with an airplane.
05:36The design was pretty tough to take your eyes off of, which is exactly what they wanted.
05:40The EADS Voltair is entirely battery powered, and if all goes according to plan, which we
05:45could be riding high on one of these big guys as soon as 2035.
05:49And while that may sound like ages, you have to remember that time flies.
05:53And because the EADS Voltair single rear-mounted engine that looks like the giant fan of a
05:57swamp boat is all it's working with, you can bet your bottom dollar that this aircraft will
06:02be incredibly light.
06:03But that also means it's significantly smaller than something like a Boeing 747, and will
06:08only be able to accommodate up to 70 passengers at a time.
06:12That may be a small number, but just think of how quickly the boarding and onboarding process
06:15will be here.
06:17Alright, we've seen some pretty futuristic designs already.
06:24The next concept plane on this list really takes the cake, looking like it was plucked
06:28from an old arcade game and dropped right into our laps.
06:31The A350H airliner looks a little too much like a dolphin, but also has the potential to
06:37be the future of flying.
06:39And I'm not just saying that, because unlike so many other aircraft, both those in existence
06:43and those still in the concept phase, the A350H airliner doesn't need a runway to take
06:48off.
06:49Nope, this baby is taking off and landing completely vertically.
06:53Meaning the days of sitting on the tarmac for hours on end with no relief in sight are over.
06:57And wouldn't be an airplane of the future if it relied on fuel either.
07:01But instead of running on batteries, the A350H airliner will be powered by cryogenic hydrogen
07:06it keeps stored in its high-pressure tanks.
07:08This concept plane is sounding more and more sci-fi by the minute.
07:11Perhaps science fiction is also what implants these types of forward-thinking and eco-friendly
07:16ideas in our minds in the first place and really gives us an ideal to strive for.
07:20And if this plane really does manage to take off, then we'll all be in for one wild ride.
07:269.
07:28Seastall VLJ
07:30While companies like Boeing, Airbus and Lufthansa manage to keep the designs of their
07:34concept planes within the realms of what seems realistic.
07:38People like Tomas Brodersgift have taken their designs to the next level and maybe even a
07:43few steps beyond that.
07:44He's managed to create a concept plane known as the Seastall VLJ, which looks like an old
07:50computer mouse with wings.
07:52And although it may look a bit silly, it's even more awesome.
07:56Short for short take-off and landing, very light jet, the Seastall is a lot more than
08:00just an airplane.
08:01It's a seaplane, meaning this thing can take you just about anywhere.
08:05And while you won't be seeing one of these making a cross-continental flight, the Seastall
08:09VLJ can make for the very perfect private jetliner for the rich and famous, looking to just get
08:14away from it all and enjoy the seascape.
08:16The cabin's small, only able to accommodate up to eight passengers plus the pilot, but it's
08:21the two skiffs underneath that really make it stand out.
08:24When it comes to something like the Seastall VLJ, there's more than meets the eye, and
08:29just because it's a seaplane doesn't mean it can take off or land on the nearest runway,
08:33meaning this plane of the future excels at land, sea, and air.
08:38Number 8.
08:40Synergy Aircraft When you have good synergy with another person,
08:43you can just tell, and the same could apply to concept planes, which is why the Synergy
08:48Aircraft is going to be your favorite entry on this list.
08:51The incredible unique Synergy Aircraft is designed by John McGinnis, and it's said to
08:55use just 10% the fuel of a regular jet plane of the same size.
09:00That's not much fuel at all.
09:01But despite the design and futuristic promises, this concept plane isn't an electric aircraft,
09:06and won't fly nearly as fast as your average passenger aircraft.
09:10But flying at about 40 miles an hour, with space for just five in its cabin, it's more
09:15of a personal craft, meaning you can fly this between vacation homes with some friends.
09:20But isn't something like this going to be loud, especially when you're sitting so close
09:23to the engine?
09:24Not here.
09:25The Synergy Aircraft is designed to be incredibly quiet, meaning the folks inside can have a
09:30conversation at normal levels, because the craft uses a smaller rear propulsion system,
09:35laminar flow aerodynamics, and lower prop tip speeds.
09:38But what really stands out here is the tail design, which uses a patented double box tail configuration.
09:44The only real question here is who is brave enough to step inside one of these small but
09:49mighty planes.
09:51Number 7 Monster Jumbo
09:54We've all been inside a jumbo jet, but one designer has managed to take that concept and
09:59turn things up to 11.
10:01This concept plane is lovingly referred to as the Monster Jumbo, and was created by Phil
10:06Paulie, an award-winning software company known for its eccentric and sometimes quirky digital
10:11solutions.
10:12So it should make sense that their next big thing really is, well, big.
10:16Their Monster Jumbo is a dual-winged commercial airliner designed with not one, not two, but
10:21four decks to shove in as many passengers as humanly, or maybe even inhumanly, as possible.
10:28Jumbo jets are only getting larger, but the Monster Jumbo really is something else, and it'll
10:33be tough to compete with it because it's designed to accommodate 1,500 people at a time, and capable
10:39of flying halfway around the world without the need to refuel.
10:42And if this thing eventually makes it to production, it's gonna be the largest airplane in the
10:46world by a long shot.
10:48The thought of sharing an airplane with that many people may sound daunting, but what it
10:52really comes down to is its fuel efficiency.
10:55If airliners can get this many people on one flight, then that means fewer flights throughout
10:59the day, which means less air traffic, fewer chances of collisions and mishaps, and fewer
11:04nasty fuel emissions.
11:07Number 6.
11:08Progress Eagle When you see the concept plane that is the
11:12Progress Eagle for the first time, it's tough not to ask something like, what exactly is
11:16going on here?
11:18It certainly is a unique design, but trust that there is method to this madness.
11:23The futuristic plane is designed by Oscar Vanals in the hopes that this will mark the future
11:27of jetliners.
11:29For starters, it's capable of carrying up to 800 passengers at a time over its 3 decks,
11:34which is about twice the passenger capacity of your average yet popular Boeing 747.
11:39And because the future will be emissions-free, the Progress Eagle looks to live up to its
11:43name by being eco-friendly with its 6 hydrogen fuel engines, the rear electric wind generators,
11:49and even solar panels.
11:51This thing is built like it's ready to go, managing to rely on every outlet imaginable to
11:55get from point A to point B without hurting our Mother Earth.
11:59Vanals has said that he plans to craft the Progress Eagle using materials like titanium,
12:03aluminum, graphene, carbon fiber, ceramics, and finally, a memory-shaped alloy, making this
12:09not only an incredibly light aircraft, but unlike anything we've ever seen before.
12:15Number 5.
12:16Spruce Whale So far, we've seen concept planes that take their
12:20design inspirations from existing aircraft, sci-fi spaceships, and even a dolphin.
12:25But there's one more member of the Aquatic Kingdom that dwarfs these designs in comparison.
12:31The Spruce Whale is an insane concept plane that looks to replicate the size, scale, and
12:36look of a whale, and slap some wings on it, too.
12:40This concept comes from the mind of Randy Allendra, and certainly offers a unique glimpse into
12:44the future of aviation.
12:46Allendra has said that their design is so futuristic that the necessary materials to create such
12:51a whale of a plane don't even exist yet, and the technology it takes to fly likely won't
12:56be a reality for another century.
12:58So, even if the Spruce Whale does come to fruition, Allendery won't be alive to see it.
13:03So, how does something like this move about?
13:05Well, the Spruce Whale, which looks like a half-dirigible, half-StarCraft, will forego the
13:10typical fuselage for a mechanism that utilizes helium to keep it afloat and propelling forward.
13:16And, even more outlandish is the fact that it will be using its rear-mounted energy converter
13:21module to harvest the wind's power.
13:23Meaning, the higher and further it flies, the more output it will produce.
13:26Again, if the Spruce Whale is ever created, it will be long after we're gone.
13:32Number 4.
13:33AS-2 Supersonic Private Jet
13:36Who out there remembers the Concorde, the supersonic jet that ripped through the skies
13:41and brought passengers from New York City to London in less than three hours?
13:45While the Concorde may have been retired in 2003, there are people who are trying to bring
13:50it back, only better.
13:52Known as the AS-2, or the Son of Concorde, this concept plane is a supersonic private jet
13:58that will let you start your day with a bagel in New York and then grab some lunch in London,
14:02all on the same day.
14:03While there have been supersonic commercial planes, the AS-2 is looking to be the first
14:07ever of its kind within the private sector.
14:10This concept is part of a joint project between Airbus and Arion Corp.
14:14While it may sound a little too good to be true, they've allegedly already secured their
14:18first customer back in 2015.
14:20When it goes into production, the AS-2 will cost 120 million dollars to make, and so far
14:2720 have already been ordered, which is kinda wild.
14:30But don't expect to be sitting on a cramped flight on board this thing, because the supersonic
14:34jet can only carry up to 12 passengers at a time, but has no issues reaching a top speed
14:39of Mach 1.5 without even breaking a sweat.
14:42But don't expect to see this on the market until at least 2023.
14:47Number 3.
14:49The Boom
14:50So here comes the Boom.
14:52With the help of Virgin Atlantic, a small Colorado-based startup is looking to create
14:56its own supersonic commercial aircraft they like to call the Boom.
15:01This concept blows the original Concorde out of the water, shaving off about 30 minutes
15:05from the original's transatlantic trip, and will get you around the world in just under
15:095 hours as it travels at a top speed of Mach 2.2.
15:13But how much is something like that gonna cost?
15:16Well, a one-way ticket is gonna run you about $5,000, making it accessible to the upper echelon
15:21of business society.
15:23And the Boom airplane itself is already at a $2 billion price tag to build.
15:27And that's if they even decide to go through with it.
15:30But if they do, the prospect of putting everyday people back into the cabin of a supersonic
15:34commercial airliner is gonna be epic.
15:37Number 2.
15:39Airbus A321 XLR
15:42When it comes to making top-of-the-line airplanes, the folks at Airbus really know what they're
15:48doing.
15:49They introduced their A321 XLR back in 2019 at the Paris Air Show, boasting that it can
15:55take to the skies with a range of 5,500 miles, blowing their predecessors out of the water
16:00by a long shot.
16:01They're able to do this because the concept offers a third fuel tank, which also allows
16:06the XLR to travel up to 10 hours without needing to stop and refuel, and still cutting their
16:11fuel burn per seat by about 30%.
16:14Not bad.
16:15The A321 XLR concept is gonna be the perfect addition for commercial airliners who are looking
16:20to cut costs but raise efficiency.
16:23The only real catch for passengers, though, is that this concept is a narrow-body plane,
16:28so ideally these seats are gonna have to be wider and offer a little more legroom, especially
16:33if they can cover even longer distances.
16:36Number 1.
16:38Space Liner
16:39Space is the place.
16:41Companies have been claiming to one day offer commercial flights to space for what feels
16:45like forever, and even billionaires seem to be entering the space race as well.
16:49But one German company is looking to make space travel a bit more realistic.
16:54And while you won't be zooming up to the moon for a vacation, you can certainly expect
16:58to get from London to Melbourne in about 90 minutes, or Paris to San Francisco in less
17:03than an hour while traveling at 25 times the speed of sound.
17:07It's an incredibly ambitious concept that will put passengers through time and space at Mach
17:125, or 5 times the speed of sound.
17:14The folks at the Space Launcher Systems Analysis, or SART, have been putting in the hours of
17:19their Spaceliner for nearly two decades now, with the goal of creating a hypersonic craft
17:24that can carry up to 50 passengers at a time, up into space, and then around the globe at
17:29breakneck speeds.
17:30It certainly sounds like an amazing idea, and with more and more people heading to the stars,
17:35it does at times feel like it can soon be a reality.
17:39The Spaceliner concept calls for eleven rockets to propel the vessel into orbit, nine of which
17:44are for the vertical booster stage, and just two for the passenger stage as it circles the
17:49Earth.
17:50And once those nine boosters kick in, the passenger craft breaks from the booster rockets and
17:54flies totally autonomously, meaning you won't be seeing an influx of pilots entering NASA's
17:59space program anytime soon.
18:01In all, the Spaceliner will reach an altitude of about 50 miles high, and what goes up must
18:07also come down, so the craft quickly goes into a gliding descent towards its destination.
18:12And you can bet that something as futuristic as this isn't going to be as environmentally
18:16friendly as it can be, and the smart folks over at SART are working to make their Spaceliner
18:21run on liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellants, meaning the only emissions it will leave in
18:26its wake is water vapor.
