So says an advert in Flight international by a company called Dassault Systemes. They appear to work on 3D designs for the future.
This little baby is the main image in the advert.

Dassault Systèmes is a subsidiary of the aviation group. They specialize in CAD software (e.g. CATIA and SolidWorks) and its ancillaries.

With the recent problems airliners have staying aloft and cruise ships staying aflooat right side up I think I'll pass.

No worries about icebergs or rogue waves, though.  Just rogue states.
