Laszlo Nemeth flies into the future
Laszlo Nemeth of Lasky Design looked to nature to shape this futuristic solar powered aircraft named ‘Falcon Solar’. Inspired by birds of prey, the streamlined concept features large wings that curve upwards and a pointed cockpit and tail.
‘Even nowadays, nature’s iteration of shapes can be a good inspiration for design and help development with almost perfectly harmonious proportions such as golden ratio,’ says the Hungarian industrial designer.

According to Nemeth, the Falcon Solar airplane can fly with zero emission thanks to its large wing area that’s equipped with solar panels.‘The design breaks with conventional aircraft design and uses the advantage of flying wings’, continues the designer. ‘The shape is unique in that the fuselage also generates significant lift while providing a surface for the solar panels.’
Just an eye-catching concept for now, the designer is yet to reveal specifications and details of how the aircraft would actually fly. But as we see companies invest in zero emissions air travel, could we see planes like the Falcon Solar take to the skies in the future?
