Capable to create electric energy with micro solar cells in hexagonal geometry like a part of structure’s ceiling or through two big electromagnetic generators named W.E.R.D.S. (wind energy recovery duct system) based in superconductivity technology and fuel cell stack –Hydrogen- that transform the air flow in energy.

This concept airplane is equipped with 4 Hybrid Engines–Fuel Electric (hybrid turbo-electric propulsion system), the engines could use both fuel to burn in the engine’s core, and electricity to turn the turbofan when the core is powered down. The Hybrid engines could rotate up to 45 degrees in vertical position to assist in the take-off and landing maneuvers.

Big capacity of cargo with a volume of 2,303m3 and more than 220 tons of payload, with an internal advanced & active fuselage system,Capable to generate “green” power, thanks to superconductivity technology, fuel cell stack, wind generators and solar energy,Equipped with four Hybrid engines – electric / fuel & two electric engines E-e (wings).
Reduces damages in a hypothetical emergency landing with “auto-break” wings system.Reduces drag and weight (increasing the payload cargo).Reduces fuel consumption and damaging emissions.
