Future planes have self-healing wings

Future superpowers Sky Whale will outperform an Airbus A380 and resemble a spacecraft with self-healing spacecraft.

Future superpowers Sky Whale will outperform an Airbus A380 and resemble a spacecraft with self-healing spacecraft.

Designer Oscar Viñals in Spain designed a future supercar called the Sky Whale. It employs the most up-to-date technology with a massive capacity of up to 755 passengers, helping to save airlines.

The Sky Whale is designed with a wingspan of 88m compared to the 80m of the Airbus A380 and 64m of the Boeing 747. The fuselage will be made of new materials made of synthetic fibers or fibers. The Sky Whale will also be equipped with a "flexible wing" that uses a more efficient hybrid propulsion system than current aircraft.

The Sky Whale is also able to fly much longer than current aircraft without refueling and will be fitted with small solar panels on its wings to produce electricity from sunlight. According to Oscar Viñals, the aircraft's engine can drive 45 degrees so it can land on small runways.

The wing of the Sky Whale is equipped with self-healing technology when malfunctioning. In addition, if the aircraft crashed, the fuselage will automatically separate from its wing to reduce the risk of human injury.

'Flush design with the fuselage is a way to increase safety. When the situation goes down the worst, the wings of the aircraft will be separated from the body to minimize damage to the cabin , "said Oscar Viñals.

The effectiveness of all applied technologies will help the Sky Whale reduce friction, fuel consumption and weight, making it one of the most environmentally friendly aircrafts you can imagine.
