Just saw this article on the BBC website and I thought i'd share the link (and images) of future aircraft designs..............

www.bbc.com...

It all looks very Thunderbird'ish and there are some really exciting design shapes shown......

It would be fantastic to look up and see these little beauties sail over head.....

I got the same... seems to be an article for the rest of the world and not for those of us here in the UK.

Perhaps they want us to experience the same levels of frustration others get when we post iPlayer links

I still get the following..


We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes. You can find out more about BBC Worldwide and its digital activities at www.bbcworldwide.com.

I have to say, that although I can understand your fustration about lack of access to a service we pay for, but I have this to say about your more general comments about the BBC. You may not like the things the BBC makes, but thier news coverage is some of the best veiwed in our country, and the organisation is responsible for some of the highest quality television available in the UK.

You may not agree with the peoples choice, but it is the peoples choice. The beeb makes some top dramas, great documentaries, and over the years has been responsible for television gold that is loved all over the world. Again, its a matter of taste, but your opinion alone cannot outwiegh that of generations of veiwers, all over the planet.

Are those real planes, or just models for new designs? Can they fly, or are they just cool designs?

I wonder.

Druid42

from my understanding they are all drawings and designs however the article does mention that with new types of materials some of the more exotic looking aircraft will all be 'air-worthy'..........

so to answer your question i think some are and the others will be viable flying machines....
