Aviation has always pushed the limits of innovation but much of general aviation still relies on aircraft designs and engines that are decades old. That could change soon.

Take a look at five futuristic aircraft and technologies that could transform the way we fly. From laminar-flow business jets and hybrid-electric STOL aircraft, to next-generation turboprop engines, eVTOL air taxis, and even a personal flying car, these concepts could usher in a new general aviation era.

Featured aircraft and technologies include:

The Otto Aviation Phantom 3500 laminar flow jet

The Electra hybrid-electric blown-wing aircraft

The Turbotech regenerative turboprop engine

The Archer Midnight eVTOL air taxi

The Pivotal Helix personal eVTOL
