Designer Oscar Viñals made another project of the aircraft. This time he showed the world a giant passenger plane AWWA Sky Whale with a hybrid engine.





"The sky whale" is a wide — body airliner. The innovative concept has solar panels on the roof and built-in turbines, which, passing through laminar air flow, produce energy accurately "from the air". The inspiration for the designer was the amphibian Hercules H-4 of 1947.
