Airbus 2050



The Airbus 2050 (year) was just revealed at an airshow in Paris.

Passengers will be able to see everything to the sides and in front of them.

The new Airbus drops the traditional class system of first, business, and economy.
There will be three zones: 
1.) Vitalizing Zone, with "organically grown" seats that can massage you
2.) Recreational Interaction Zone, with pop-up "pods" for things like private dinners and a holographic gaming wall
3.) Smart Tech Zone, where the seats adapt perfectly to individuals' size and shape.

Craziness......

The plane is designed in such a way that:
-The engines are positioned in the rear
     - Which makes it more fuel efficient
     - Less noisy
- Double doors allow for faster boarding
- A biometric sensor will scan a passenger's hand to check in
- Luggage drop-off happens right there and then
- An energy-harvesting system siphons the heat from your body to help power the aircraft

The Airbus' concept plane is is in its dream stage right now, but who knows...one day it could become a reality.
