1. Supersonic in Zeppelin, car flying, super drone, the "Nouvel Observateur" offers an overview of the most incredible innovations in aeronautics, which may emerge in the near future will see. Above the X-WaveRider 51A. Powered by a missile engine at over 6000 km / h, it could connect New York to Sydney in less than two hours ... The X-51A was developed by Boeing and the engine manufacturer Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne. This unmanned aircraft whose speed can exceed Mach 5, is a project very closely followed by the Pentagon.
2. Eco-Airliner is a futuristic concept of electric aircraft can carry up to 300 people. Conceived by designer Daphnis Fournier, the machine has an inflatable structure above the main cabin. The structure is covered with flexible photovoltaic panels to capture the sun's energy and power its four electric engines. Eco-Airliner like a huge drop which remains flat at takeoff, to limit energy overconsumption. Once at cruising altitude, the balloon can be inflated and then stabilize in the air.
3. The flying car. Not finding investors in France, Gary Chorostecki, at the head of his agency Figxy, was expatriate in the United States to realize its vision of a flying car. Scientifically called "VTOL" aircraft vertical takeoff and landing, French cars like project space of the film the fifth element. It could, in the coming years, no more than a simple cinematic invention but a revolution. Its use could not be more simple, you drive your car, then with one click, you add the wings to take off vertically, no more caps ...
4.Very long neglected, the airship looking like new. Helium, although safer than hydrogen, the craft has been modernized and benefits from the technological advances of today. The French company Airship Paris, based in Pontoise, began commercial flights from 3 August 2013 The Zeppelin NT07 can transport people, but other companies like French Voliris and V901 zeppelin, intend to carry containers to refuel isolated areas in the world. Commercial or recreational, ecological invention of 1899, signed Ferdinand Adolf August Heinrich von Zeppelin, will resume service.
5. The ZEHST, hypersonic aircraft. It is in 2011 that EADS has unveiled this hypersonic aircraft project. The ZEHST could reach Mach 4, or about 4800 km / h, and from Paris to Tokyo in two and a half hours, against 11 hours today. The heir to the Concorde takes off with conventional engines powered by biofuel made from seaweed. Then, from a certain altitude, ZEHST will start its rocket engine powered by hydrogen and oxygen. EADS continues its aeronautical research with the constant worry of finding an alternative to kerosene, polluting and increasingly expensive.
6. The American space agency recently published photos of several aircraft models that could be in service by 2025 The next generation of aircraft concepts have been developed by several teams that have been offered contracts by developments NASA end of 2012.
7. NASA said on its website: "Each project is different, but the goals are the same for all. Less noise, less pollution and less fuel consumption, each device must be optimized on these aspects, which requires a complex dance of all new advanced technologies that will be integrated into these aircraft "
8. The solar plane called Solar Impulse is a project started there has been 10 years. After many setbacks, the new Swiss experimental aircraft landed successfully May 4, 2013 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Led by Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard, the single-seat aircraft, powered by the sun's energy on 12,000 photovoltaic cells proved he could make a non-stop flight of 26 hours. Its ability to accumulate enough electricity during the day to continue flying at night is a real breakthrough in the world of aviation.
9. Bloon the project will be a journey into space, smooth, full of sensations. The giant balloon have 120 meters in diameter, allowing it to reach an altitude of 36 km, near weightlessness. The first flights are scheduled for 2015 The cost of the trip is estimated at approximately € 112,000 per passenger.
10. Provided between December 2013 and February 2014, Richard Branson will soon announce the exact date of the first flight of Virgin Galactic. 350 people have already booked their places at a special price of € 200,000. Among future astronauts, singer Justin Bieber hopes to go play the stars ... the stars.
