@Yiggyski Jet fuel, a hydro carbon, is stored solar energy. In the very very near future solar collectors will more than exceed the current 14%-18% efficiency and batteries with much higher energy densities and lighter weights are already in production. Composite air frames are already on the market and being flown. The electric ducted fan industry has produced units with thrust comparable to similar sized jet turbines. It all comes down to power to weight ratio.

You should see my Nuclear powered steam train!

i saw jet and solar power in the same sentence and i knew it was fake.

It's FAKE! He took the body of an working solar powered car and pasted some wings on it... Got YA!

I thought the 1st picture was better than the 3rd and 7th pictures, you know? The contrast of the photo just makes it that much more plausible, am I right? pft

@ox141jf Stoners and people on acid......

besides the fact that this video is gay...
you can actually have an ion jet made purely from electricity, so I don't see anything wrong with this concept. except for the fact that it won't have enough power to fly with the current technology, STOP BEING SUCH IGNORANT BASTARDS.

This is really gay who wants to see an image flipping and changing color
I just deleted someone else's comment by mistake - sorry. I meant to click reply but clicked remove instead - woops!

It might produce enough power to run a cigarette lighter so the pilot could enjoy a decent smoke if you charged it the day before.
As for enough power to run the engines forget it. Of course that's if an electrical equivalent could be produced to the jet engine which is impossible.
Solar powered airship may have future though.

It's a hybrid fighter jet. It runs on electric and jet fuel.

Rofl, yeah right i believe planes run on solary energy, when pigs can fly

Planes can run on solar energy, they just cannot go very fast or carry many people.

Sorry I just deleted someones comment by mistake.
I would like to say that this idea would reduce fuel usage not just while the plane is flying but while charging when stationary on the airfield.
