Oh I don't know....they've always been leading-edge designs. Fighter aircraft have had a great influence on auto designers for 60 years.
In the 50's, 60's and to some degree the 70's "futuristic" was envisioned as needle-nose, rocket-like, sleek, piercing, flowing shapes. From the 80's-on starting with movies like Blade Runner and Alien things "future" started to take a different shape; more angular for the most part.
Currently the styling "trend" is Japanese anime robot/cartoon/comic book. LED lights styled to look like robot eyes. Lots of "me too" design going on right now. I want the Camaro to NOT look like any of that. So I'm experimenting... trying to find the right "look" that's American, futuristic, powerful, muscular. Not an easy task but at least this thread shows there's interest with hundreds of 'views' a day; even if they're silent viewers mostly at least it shows people are interested.  |
I wasn't picturing aircraft. I was picturing 4 wheeled vehicles. If you're talking airplanes, absolutely cutting edge. I'm working out here right now at Kadena AB in Okinawa and every time I see an F-15 or F-22 take off I just look at it in awe. So yeah, if we're talking planes, then absolutely. But I don't see a plane in any of your designs?
