Aircraft companies big and small continue to explore the newest design processes and material to make planes that are more efficient and environmentally cleaner. Many are evaluating and refining electric and hybrid-electric propulsion, as well as autonomous piloting and innovative aerodynamic shapes and structures. Here are a few of those designs—some of which are being built, and others that just serve as sounding boards for new ideas and approaches.
Clearly, the Martian environment can be harsh and unaccommodating to systems made to operate on Earth. Through a combination of standard industrial motors and creative collaboration...
