Looking like more of a mothership than a traditional airplane, the 'Hyper Shape Plane' is a newly designed aircraft by Oscar Viñals that works to draw energy from unexpected sources to fly forward.
The HSP is designed with quantum solar dots on the upper surfaces of the plane in order to draw energy from the sun, while wind turbines help to harness the power of the wind. Air ducts above the cockpit work to allow air to pass through that will capture and remove CO2 from the atmosphere in order to store it in liquid form for recycling once the plane lands.
The 'Hyper Shape Plane' comes as an efficient concept that identifies the way in which air travel is heading when it comes to energy sources and levels of efficiency.
