The future of in-flight entertainment

Bastian Schaefer,an employee of the European company Airbus, presented a concept of the future airplane flight. He said that his concept should improve passenger experience and reduce both pollution and costs for the company in the near future. The plane concept of the Airbus behaves more like a living organism than a machine. It reacts to the environment and to passengers, identifies problems you have and is trying to solve them.

Airbus announces longer and thinner wings, smart materials, curved fuselage and engine placed behind the machine and semi- integrated into the body. Airplane structure concept is inspired by the skeleton of birds, small but tough and durable at the same time. The skeleton aircraft using carbon nano- tubes that transmit power and information was made ​​using a 3D printer. For this reason and due to the innovative shape, fuel consumption is reduced considerably. Airbus engineers are thinking to give up kerosene or petroleum based products in exchange for methane gas.

Interaction Zone, located in the middle of the aircraft aims to make the flight seem like a holiday and not as a means to reach holiday. It connects people and futuristic technology and allows passengers to socialize. The virtual reality allows passengers to play various games and receive any travel information . The interaction zone transforms the play area in the bar area with a push of a button.
