    Will That Fly? 17 Imaginary Vehicle & Aircraft Concepts

    Article by Steph, filed under Conceptual & Futuristicin the Technologycategory.

    Never mind the mechanics of these fantastical digital art renderings of

    alien spaceships, advanced military vehiclesand futuristicaircraft.

    Whether or not theyre compatible with the laws of physics, these sci-fivisions are a thrill to take in, inspiring a sense of wonderabout the

    possibilities of the future and the technology that might already be

    present in the far-off reaches of outer space.

    NASA Garbage Ship by Vaughan Ling

    Concept artist Vaughan Ling envisions a ship for NASAthat would

    collect and recycle garbage in space. He wrote to io9, My fantasy

    concept is a system composed of the collector, a net dispenser and a

    recycling station in low earth orbit. Considering the launch cost can

    range from $4-5k per pound, not including the precious metals often

    used for satellite constrution, I thought that recycling could be a viable

    business one day. The collector would use nuclear power + highly

    efficient VASIMR rockets for propulsion and a detachable holding bay

    for dropping off at the station plus an arm similar to Canadarm on thespace shuttle and ISS.
