The ship design has ‘solar wings.’
Designer Jozeph Forakis has introduced the world’s first 3D-printed super yacht concept, and it’s called Pegasus. The concept is 88 meters long and comes complete with reflective ‘Solar Wings,’ allowing it to have zero emissions and an infinite range.
The idea for the futuristic yacht was conceived on a beach in Koufonissi island, Greece. Forakis claimed to be “inspired to create a yacht as close to the sea and nature as possible, made of clouds floating above the waterline, becoming virtually invisible,” according to the designer’s page.
