Airbus has unveiled a
futuristic concept for a
transparent plane that may be everyday
air transport in 2050. With its see-through
aircraft cabin, passengers of the
future will get a window on the
world as they fly through the sky. They will be able to see everything
to the sides and in front of them.

The concept cabin unveiled at the
Royal Observatory in Greenwich,
London, would be a bionic structure that 'mimics' the efficiency of the
bird bone, claimed the company.

It would provide strength where
needed, and also allows for an intelligent' cabin wall membrane, which
controls air temperature and can
become transparent to give passengers open, panoramic views.

The company believes that
mid-century passengers might be able to enjoy a game of virtual golf or
take part in interactive conferences, while the cabin 'identifies and
responds' to travelers' needs.

In the 'interactive zone' there
are virtual pop-up projections taking passengers to whichever social
scene they want to be in, from
holographic gaming to virtual changing rooms for active shoppers.

The 'smart tech zone' is tailored
towards the more functional-orientated passenger with what Airbus
describes as 'a chameleon-style offering.'

It aims to meet individual needs
ranging from a simple to a complete luxury service, but all allowing
'you to continue life as if on the ground'.

Our research shows that passengers
of 2050 will expect a seamless travel experience while also caring for
the environment, the Daily Mail quoted Airbus engineering executive
vice-president Charles Champion
as saying.

The concept cabin is designed with
that in mind, and shows that the journey
can be as much a voyage of discovery as the destination, he
added.
