Airbus' Plane Of The Future

Cramped, stuffy airplane cabins with minimal legroom may be a thing of the past if this concept takes off. Airbus has created A3, a design studio attempting to pave the way for our plane cabins of the future. Their concept is called Transpose, a modular design that would allow different settings to be switched in and out of freighter-type planes between flights. Beds, cafes, and even gyms could be enjoyed on a flight.

If economics taught me one thing, "can" and "will" are two completely independent concepts.

Windows are proven help pilots assess troubles in case of engine fires. I think its still a vital feature of an aircraft and should not be removed

[JollyJoel]

I was hoping for a bunch of cameras on the outside of the plane so the inside is a giant screen to mimic the walls not being there since there are no Windows. Speaking of which, I don't think people would enjoy not having windows, no matter what you put in there.

But the cost of the flight would be sure indeed expensive

Hi, BI. I'm focusing on versatility on planes to make sure they are the best. Plus, my mission is to improve the versatility of everything in my future country as the world never stands still.

Thats about the concept of the a380 plus or some other new a380 concept

[mbox]

The only viable future concept is the one where you can shoehorn more people into a given space. Maybe fitting them togheter like tetras pieces or putting seats where there normally wasn't one. Or have everyone stand very close togheter and not have any seats to maximize the number of passengers.

How about imax theater inside a plane?

[blitzkrieg]

Why no windows? Not that hard to add windows

[adamwoodward]

I can see the point In this but where would all of the interiors not in use be stored???

[medviation]

What's the point? Carrying passengers, you will still need emergency exits cargo planes do not have.

[Vicarij]

But what about seat belts? A plane needs seat belts for safety reasons.

[Szarkoc]

But it's a A330 freight... it means people inside are cargo :D

[juancruzgallego]

This has no chance of becoming reality

[charlech]

that's a pretty hot asian chick u got there
