I have used this video last year, during a presentation at my English school. It was created by Airbus, an aircraft manufacturer from France. The company has made a series of simulations trying to predict possible innovations for the future of aviation.
In this specific video, we can see some of the technology they are developing to increase passenger comfort. The ideas include adjustable seats, a skylight area and even electronic tourist information.
Airbus acknowledged that concepts explored in the video were conceived by their engineers during break times. They expect to release an experimental aircraft with some of the projects in 2050. Definitely, due to international regulations, we should not expect the depicted plane available for commercial purposes in the next few decades.
Anyway, as a fan of the aviation industry, I am looking forward to more simple improvements in Airbus’ planes. This way, we can be certain that the technology will not constitute a challenge to be implemented in a short period of time.
