❗️Christian von Koenigsegg, founder of Koenigsegg Automotive, has filed a patent for a futuristic closed-wing airplane design. The aircraft concept aims to reduce drag and increase aerodynamic efficiency using a ring-shaped wing structure. This move comes as Koenigsegg’s lineup of hypercars—including the Jesko, Gemera, and CCX—has sold out, with no immediate new model launches planned. With automotive innovation plateauing, Christian appears to be exploring new engineering frontiers. The closed-wing aircraft reflects Koenigsegg’s history of radical, efficiency-driven design, similar to innovations seen in his cars like freevalve engines and carbon fiber monocoques. This pivot into aviation places him among a small group of automotive leaders who have expanded into aerospace, signaling potential future products or technological crossovers from his brand. At this stage, no production or timeline details have been announced, but the patent confirms serious intent to innovate beyond ca...
