THIS futuristic yacht is any space fan's ultimate dream as looks like a spaceship straight out of Star Wars.<\/p>\n
Designed by Star Wars fan Yeojin Jung, the 342ft Estrella\u00a0Superyacht was inspired by the iconic Y-Wing and Naboo Royal Starship.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Jung\u2019s incredible concept took home a Bronze prize at this year\u2019s\u00a0A\u2019 Design Award and Competition.<\/p>\n
She envisioned it during her final year of study at Coventry University.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Boasting a distinct tri-hull shape, the super boat was designed to "defy gravity"\u00a0thanks to the fin stabilisers installed on both sides of the centre hull, countering any stability issues.<\/p>\n
Its Y-shaped format also provides passengers a more immediate and visual experience of the water.<\/p>\n
The design splits the boat into three major sections\u2014a central segment and two floater components on each side\u2014all of which are connected by a hull-spanning bridge. <\/p>\n This provides each of the yacht\u2019s 20 passengers more freedom than a traditional yacht, allowing them to get a better view and \u201cunderstanding\u201d of their surroundings.<\/p>\n Designed to be the the next generation of superyacht for "ultra-high-net-worth individuals", the Estrella also has its very own helicopter pad.<\/p>\n "This concept will provide a dynamic experience to people by dividing the hull wings into three volumes," Jung told Techeblog.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "By providing different views of Mediterranean Sea, they perceive the surroundings.<\/p>\n "Also, it can make intimate experience with nature by providing innovative layout."<\/p>\n The super vessel can comfortably carry up to 20 passengers, Odditymall.com reports.<\/p>\n With its hull built from aluminium, the Star Wars-esque yacht hashybrid diesel engine and produces a cruising speed of 15 knots.<\/p>\n It comes after a supersonic plane that promises to be the next generation of commercial travel could carry 300 passengers in ultra-lux flights.<\/p>\n Designed by Oscar Vi\u00f1als from\u00a0Barcelona,\u00a0Spain, the spaceship-like aircraft also looks like a vessel straight out of\u00a0Star Wars.<\/p>\n The aircraft, named\u00a0Sky OV, would be able to reach a top speed of Mach 1.5 \u2013 around 1,150mph \u2013 and be powered by electricity at no cost to the environment.<\/p>\n Its ultramodern features include retractile wings and even a translucent ceiling.<\/p>\n Oscar told The Sun: "The design of this concept is a mix between future commercial and military projects based on new fuselage' shapes, engines and construction materials."<\/p>\n The Spaniard, who designs futuristic planes full-time, wanted to give his "personal vision" to the more conventional aeronautical and aerospace plane concepts.<\/p>\n "There are so many things that make Sky OV unique," he said.<\/p>\n "Its blade-less engines, the translucent ceiling with quantum solar dots as a part of its fuselage or its capacity to fold the wings.<\/p>\n "The plane is also quiet, faster than current commercial aircraft, completely green, zero emissions and capable of covering very long distances."<\/p>\n Oscar said he already has a military version of Sky OV in his drafts – but is still a far away reality.<\/p>\n<\/picture>WE\u2019RE LAVA\u2019N IT <\/span><\/p>\n
