- The new concept plane Airbus was just revealed at an airshow in Paris. Set to be used by the year 2050 this plane is pretty unbelievable. For instance take the Vitalising Zone at the front of the aircraft. This is an intelligent cabin membrane which can become transparent to give passengers an open panoramic view.
1
- Airbus predicts that the aircraft have a bionic structure that mimics bird bones which should allow for a lighter weight structure and open panoramic views.
2
- The centre interactive zone provides space for social scenarios, such as a virtual game of golf with people on ground or even with passengers in other aircrafts. Wicked.
3
- Morphing seats can harvest passenger’s body heat to power aircraft systems such as holographic pop-up pods as shown here in the Airbus Concept Cabin “Smart Tech Zone.”
4
- Passengers in 2050 can sit back and enjoy the night sky when travelling.

This just in…it's an Airbus. Boeing beats their asses ten times over. Not to mention Boeings don't crash.
I'd like it very much if they just concentrated on designing a fuel efficient plane. What a concept that would be!
well taking a piss is gonna be more awkward now
Let's see Airbus get an A350 off the ground first. Composites have been used for 40 years in aircraft but they are still two years away from delivering that one. No reason to think they will make some magical leap in the next 40.
In 2050 only the top 1% of the world will be able to afford to fly. Most airlines will nickle and dime themselves out of business, and by then oil should be $1000 a barrel.
cool, never be able to afford ticket
Did anyone else think of the movie Wall E when they saw this
And I thought they would've perfected teleportation by 2050…
This is going to fail…. already see it coming.
go make a transformer
I'd be 60 by then. Time to start saving for the one flight which my life savings could hopefullycover….
That membrane sounds a lot like Transparent aluminum. I think that Dr. Marcus Nichols from Plexicorp was the "inventor" of the stuff in 1986. Thanks Scotty!
Over your head buddy.
That awesome! but is there anything to help for when the plane crashes? All that happens now is you crash in style
