Aircraft design ideas like science fiction movies

A designer in Spain has created ambitious ideas about unique aircraft models such as stepping out of sci-fi movies.

According to CNN, this person is named Oscar Vinals , an aspiring designer in Barcelona.

One particular thing is that Oscar Vinals doesn't even have an aeronautical engineer degree. He has nothing to do with the US Aeronautics Agency or any other aviation research organization.

However, the imaginative designs of Oscar Vinals have attracted industry insiders.

The design ideas of Vinals will of course not become a reality soon because at least it needs technology to implement.

However, he still believed in the feasibility of designs, at least from a theoretical standpoint. He said: 'I am not planning to design just to look beautiful or eye-catching. All designs are created after intensive research and I hope that designs may one day be the foundation for a real project. Clean aircraft, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, mobile nuclear fusion reactors .

Many of these things are at the idea stage in the lab and I think most will eventually come true. '

Vinals is most likely a freelance graphic designer for racing teams. His ambitious designs seem to fit the era when technology is beginning to redefine what we can expect from the aviation industry in the next few decades.

Having no background in official aviation engineers is not an obstacle to Vinals because he is mainly self-investigating through intensive self-study programs.

Vinals also invested a considerable amount of money in modern tools, such as professional aircraft design software.

The design of Vinals is very diverse, demonstrating his vision of a future where technologies are booming and each redesign fits a specific market or trend.

Vinals designer said: 'With short journeys, we will use hybrid aircraft and electric aircraft of different sizes. With long flights, we can use hypersonic supersonic aircraft that can fly almost the orbit. This is an option for the most adventurous, richest passengers. Or you can use a supersonic plane to carry hundreds of people. '

Supersonic aircraft can use new propulsion technology such as mini thermonuclear reactors or jet systems.

Finally, there will be giant planes with up to three floors, equipped with hybrid engines, as big as ships carrying hundreds of passengers.

In addition to the fictional nature, the designs of Vinals all have one thing in common, focusing on environmentally friendly technology.

The SkyWale AWWA is an example. This is an aircraft design with a 'self-repair' wing that can carry 755 guests. Or as AWWA-QG Progress Eagle, a three-tier carbon-free aircraft.

Vinals is very excited about the prospect of using nuclear fusion as a zero-energy source, but its capacity is almost unlimited. He said : 'It still takes years but not too far away, even big names in the industry are investing in this. For example, Lockheed Martin, which has been researching mobile nuclear fusion reactors for several years, has been '.

In fact, Vinals aircraft are not only zero emissions but will also contribute positively to keeping the sky clean.

Some of his design ideas will be able to install a carbon capture device from the atmosphere. He even envisioned a plane equipped with lasers that could destroy all kinds of man-made fragments from the universe. This device is called MKS-1B LSJC Space Fragment Cleaner and is in the form of an idea.

Of course, only time will be able to answer when these ambitious ideas come true.

Some companies and active investors in the field of aviation inventions approached Vinals, wishing to take advantage of his creativity and insight.
