Venus Craft
Production Company: Northrop Grumman
Feature: Can Survive Flying in Venus’ Atmosphere
EST. Cost of Production: $1 billion* (Project Cost)
Northrop Grumman is quite busy. It is also working on the Venus Plane in addition to the top-secret RQ-180. Although this plane is less classified, it is still cool. The Venus from Northrop Grumman is an inflatable, propeller-powered airplane that could cruise for years in Venus’s sulfurous, hostile skies. Northrop’s VAMP (Venus Atmospheric Maneuverable Platform) would be eligible for $1 billion in NASA financing, as the space agency is interested on researching Venus. The planet’s atmosphere is exceedingly toxic and primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with floating clouds composed of corrosive, hot, high-pressure carbon dioxide. To survive Venus’ atmosphere, the VAMP would need to be highly resilient and tough.

According to its creators, the Aeromobil will be available in 2023. It is based on the Greek mythological character Pegasus and is intended to be a flying car. Flying automobiles were formerly a popular plot device in science fiction films from decades ago. They appear to be becoming a reality very soon. The Aeromobil will be able to switch from a car to a plane in less than three minutes. Aeromobil vehicles have been designed and engineered over 350,000 hours and are the culmination of ten years of research and development. The flying automobile is intended to take off-roading to new heights.
