In more things from the future that we find to be pretty cool, now we have this plane, which looks like two leather chairs in a bubble. This new plane, once in the air, can fly without fuel the entire time its coasting, and when it needs an extra boost for takeoff, relies on a small motor run on solar panel. At night, it uses a tiny bit of fuel, and by that we mean thirty miles to the gallon, not a lot for a plane of that size.

With flying turtles, air bubbles, and various other contraptions, what might be next in the future of airplane design? Is the flying carpet even more possible than we may have imagined?
