With this Star Wars plane you can fly to New York in just three hours

A Star Wars-inspired AI-controlled plane could fly from London to New York in just three hours.

The Sky OV uses Dyson-like bladeless fans to travel at speeds of up to Mach 1.5, or 1,841 miles per hour.

Spanish designer Oscar Viñals believes his concept can carry 200 passengers in luxury and at supersonic speeds.

The Sky OV has a mixed-wing fuselage whose wings can be folded to take up less space at the airport.

Powered by hydrogen fuel and electrical energy, the aircraft could fly long distances with very low hydrogen fuel consumption and zero emissions.

Oscar says the ailerons at the top of the plane – the rotating flaps you see on airplane wings – could be controlled by an AI system to help regulate airflow over the plane during takeoff and landing.

The designer has also addressed the problems of traditional aircraft mounts, which he describes as “inefficient, noisy and dangerous.”

“An innovative new bladeless propulsion system offers an alternative for 21st century aviation,” said Mr Viñals. “Dyson has been making bladeless fans for several years, which accelerate a steady flow of air without visible blades.

“The Sky OV is a concept aircraft based on the future revolution/development of a new type of aircraft engine with bladeless turbojet engines such as the Dyson concept.”

“A super-quiet system with subsonic and supersonic speeds or pulse detonation engines that are more efficient than current turbojet engines with capabilities comparable to a jet engine.”

Calling his design “out of a Star Wars movie,” Viñals added, “The next generation of commercial aircraft could be radically ‘disruptive’ compared to today’s aircraft.

“Hulls, engines, engines and other electronic systems that look like science fiction today could be real.”
