Insect-Inspired Aircrafts

The Sting R12 Aircraft Has a Futuristic Moth Shape

— May 21, 2014 — Autos
The Sting R12 isn't just any kind of jet -- it's the jet that all techies and aircraft enthusiasts dream of. The jet uses a pseudo-moth style shape to make it look as futuristic and as science fiction-like as possible.

When it comes to the current generation and the next generation of aircrafts, comic book movies have it on lock. Batman's vehicles look so amazingly futuristic that it's a wonder they can even fly and the Marvel movies feature a myriad of flying contraptions that would make even the United States Army jealous.

This jet features two engines at the back with large insect-like wings out at the top and side. The jet itself isn't very big but it's light, quick and powerful, making for a smooth, enjoyable and slick ride.
