Biomimicry Jet Design - This astonishing looking aircraft is a concept jetliner developed by Lockheed Martin. Based on the genetic solutions evolved in nature, it features global non-stop range and the most spell-binding exterior lines in any passenger jet designed in the last 60 years.

The Stratoliner was inspired by the form of a Bar Tailed Godwit, a bird  that boasts the record for longest non-stop flight at an amazing 7,258  miles.  With over-sized wings generating  extra lift and four Cryogenic Hydrogen Turbofan engines powering the  jet, the Lockheed could fly anywhere without stopping.
