Green supersonic aircraft
Production company: Lockheed Martin Special feature: no supersonic bang Estimated production cost: 200 million euros per unit* For today’s sustainability requirements, this green supersonic aircraft will certainly meet them. The design was produced by Lockheed Martin, and the project is still at the draft stage. The first drafts were presented to NASA in 2010 and, according to experts, the first examples of this aircraft could be put into production as early as 2035. The manufacturers have demonstrated in a number of simulations how the Green Supersonic achieves supersonic speed while eliminating the noisy bang that this causes

VTOL
Production company: Bell Special feature: high-speed VTOL aircraft Estimated production cost: 100 to 150 million euros per aircraft* Today, in addition to helicopters, we see two VTOL aircraft: the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey and the F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. The special feature of a VTOL aircraft is that it can glide, take off vertically and also land, all without the need for a runway. The Werle company recently presented a new type of aircraft featuring a folding rotor. These enable the plane to move at cat-like speed. This new technology is called HSVTOL – High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing.
