Air travel of the future? The Green Paris Air Show

June 25, 2010

If you’re interested in creative, futuristic forms of energy-efficient transportation, you need to take a look at the photos on the Gizmag site from the Green Paris Air Show held last weekend at the Paris-Le Bourget airport.

 Green air ship

 Green sail plane

…and about  25 more pictures.

 

Granted, these are not practical here and now, and, yes, the most energy-efficient thing to do is stay in one place, but where’s the engineering challenge in that?

@Nuwyn - so true! But if it was a ship you'd have to watch out for the green extremists trying to sink fishing boats or leftists trying to ram you as they smuggle arms into Israel's Gaza strip.

Wouldn't want to fly it in international air space near North Korea, China, Lybia, or Iran either!

Tres Drole Andy. Took me a moment to get the joke, but it was worth it.

That top design looks extremely well suited for underwater travel, coming up for air every 15 minutes or do.
Wouldn't want to take it to Japan, though.
