  Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X5                                             Source: Horizon Aircraft Brand New eVTOL Design From Toronto, Canada's Horizon Aircraft, a new and good-looking eVTOL that is very close to hitting the skies.  The stylish breakthrough aircraft is called the Cavorite X5 and it is now a 50%-scale prototype for testing and development.  The aircraft is getting rave reviews for its unique combination of eVTOL technologies that can vertically takeoff and lift and its traditional airplane technologies that can takeoff, soar and land. X5 is a much-anticipated new aviation concept that also has sleek, good looks and tremendous efficiency. The Wings Are the Differentiators The aircraft's wings are the key differentiator.  They open and contain 16 ducted fans that provide vertical lift.  Once the plane reaches altitude, the wings start closing as the plane transitions to cruising speed and functions as a traditional aircraft.  This dual operational approach

 Boom's   New Supersonic Aircraft Design                                             Source:  Boom Supersonics Flying Green at Supersonic Speeds Colorado-based Boom Supersonic is getting ready to offer a new, supersonic passenger aircraft called the Overture.  The company has unveiled a production ready version of the SST and has committed to having it fly on 100% sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), meaning it will fly eco-friendly green at supersonic speeds.  It promises flights from New York City to London in 3.5 hours as opposed to 5.5 hours or Seattle to Tokyo in 4.4 hours versus 8.3 hours now.  The Overture is a look at the exciting future of air travel at speeds capable of cutting travel times nearly in half. It's designed to comfortably carry 65 to 80 passengers in its spacious, large, windowed cabin.

  Boom's Supersonic Aircraft Overture Unveiled                                                  Source:  Boom Something New & Incredibly Fast in the Sky Colorado-based Boom Supersonic may be the first aviation company to bring back super-fast, supersonic flying that ended twenty years ago with the demise of the Concorde.  At the very recent 2022 Farnborough International Air Show in the UK, Boom unveiled its latest design for its ultra-sleek SST, the Overture.  The vehicle will go into service in 2029 and fly at twice the speed of today's commercial aircraft.  It will reach speeds of Mach 1.7 or 1,100 mph over the water and have the capacity to cut passenger travel time in half. More than 600 routes around the world are planned by Boom.  The likely cost of a roundtrip seat will be 75% less than the Concorde's $12,000 average or $3,000.  Boom believes that within the next decade, SSTs will be the first choice in air travel.  Bottomline: you can get to your destination in

  Zephyr S Flying Non-Stop For Nearly 3 Weeks                                                       Source:  Airbus Zero Emissions Flying Airbus' solar-powered, non-crewed airplane Zephyr S has been flying non-stop for about 20 days gliding on numerous routes from Arizona to the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean and Belize in Central America. The unique aircraft is designed to fly in the stratosphere for months at a time.  The pace is a leisurely 30 knots (estimated).  The solar plane is a drone and a pseudo-satellite. A primary purpose for the aircraft is to serve as a sensor platform for the US military but the potential uses go way beyond that. Big Capabilities According to France-based Airbus, Zephyr is a truly revolutionary piece of aviation technology.  They say it will bring new "see, sense and connect" capabilities for both commercial and military customers.  It will be able to provide connectivity to unconnected parts of the world.  It could revolutionize disaster ma

  Sky Cruise: Gigantic Nuclear-Powered Aircraft                                        Source:  Hashem Al-Ghaili Room for 5,000 Guests and Endless Flights The Sky Cruise is a fantastical, pure science fiction airplane concept that in all likelihood defies the laws of aerodynamics and physics, but in this time of an aviation technological renaissance, who knows!!  It's a huge, nuclear-powered aircraft envisioned to be a 5-star resort in the skies.  It's the fascinating invention of Swedish Art Director Tony Holmsten that has been brought to life through animation by Yemini biotechnologist and video producer Hashem Al-Ghaile, who created the images of the airplane concept.  This 5-star flying hotel can hold 5,000 guests and thanks to nuclear power it would be capable of flying for years without landing.  The e-plane is a combination spaceship and cruise ship on steroids. It's a fascinating, futuristic travel idea to think about over the lazy 4th of July holiday weekend. New T
