Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona-based designer Oscar Viñals has envisioned The Hyper Sting as the next generation of air travel that in years to come it could fly 170 passengers at more than three times the speed of sound, or 2,486mph—nearly twice that of Concorde.
The Hyper Sting would be much bigger than Concorde, with a length of 328ft, which is over 100ft longer than the Concorde, and a wingspan of 169ft, compared to Concorde’s 85ft.
The design’s name comes from the shape of the aircraft.
“The fuselage would have the shape of a ‘big sting’ with a very sharp ‘nose,’ that would have the function to control the front airflow (pressure/speed), in order to redistribute it over the central part and over the wings,” states. Viñals.
