A revolutionary concept in aviation, the Sky OV supersonic hydrogen jet, designed by Spanish designer Oscar Viñal, aims to transform air travel with its innovative “wingless” design and zero-emission propulsion system. Capable of carrying up to 300 passengers at speeds of up to 1,141 mph (Mach 1.5), the Sky OV could cut flight times between London and New York to under five hours, compared to the current eight-hour journey.
The Sky OV’s unique delta design integrates the fuselage and wings into a single structure, offering significantly more cabin space than traditional jets. Viñal’s vision for luxury air travel includes features like private rooms with leather sofas, dining tables, flat-screen TVs, noise-cancelling headsets, double beds, full-height showers, and an in-flight chef.
The jet’s propulsion system will combine hydrogen fuel and electric power, achieving zero emissions at supersonic speeds. Instead of traditional turbojets, it will use a Hybrid Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) and a turbofan, along with a magnetic levitation system to eliminate fan blades and reduce drag, improving fuel economy.
