The latest flight concept from Oscar Viñals, the HSP Magnavem is essentially a big wing with a delta shape! It’s based on Lockheed Martin’s concept, which was not viable due to its final size (7m in diameter).
It’s equipped with a Compact Fusion Reactor (CFR-Portable) that powers the hybrid engines and electric airplane systems with a CO2 cleaner system. The application of new technologies, such as nano structures of graphene, superconductors, magnetic monopole devices, new plasma’s accelerators systems help to make this concept possible. Thanks to its technology and aerodynamics, it could take off and land in only eight hundred meters (this is impressive, it normally takes 3+ more times, runways are around 2,400 meters).
More features include 2 decks (currently only A-380 by Airbus has 2 decks) with a capacity for 500 passengers (similar to a-380), a Super Tourist Class that can accommodate 280 to 360 people with generous personal space, and First Class and Business Class for 140 seats. These would also have amazing overhead views and all imaginable luxuries, such as private suites, washrooms, spa, VR, and more. 2nd deck ceiling could be made of glass with nanotechnology capable of changing opacity (similar to current new Boeings).
With a proposed supersonic speed of mach 1.5 and zero emissions, we’re already on board!

There are a few reasons why you aren't flying across the country in hypersonic aircraft, but the simplest of them is heat: when you travel at speeds over Mach 5, the ultra-high temperatures (around 3,600F to 5,400F) strip layers from metal. How do y...
For the 4th of July, somebody’s uncle had the genius idea to fly a firework powered model plane in the middle of a crowded residential area. As you can imagine, the flight did not last long and ended with a cool explosion.
The plane flies for maybe a second before the guy realizes that this was a very bad idea. Then the plane appears to shoot a missile at that house in front of them, before it dives at the house and explodes awesomely.
Sadly, we don’t have any video of the neighbor running out of his house and beating this guy’s ass, which he deserves for the vertical video alone.
