The world’s largest airplane manufacturer has shown what future planes could look like—and it’s stunning.
The concept solves one of the worst aspects of air travel—the sardine-like experience that is known as “Coach”.
Business and Economy class will be replaced by zones that target more individual needs like relaxing, playing games, interacting with other passengers or holding business meetings with people on the ground.
Much like current private passenger jets which replace large areas of seats with meeting rooms, future planes will break up the squeeze-every-inch domino-like seating arrangement that’s found on virtually every single plane nowadays.
also it seems everyone in the future is a ghost. damn.
The windows and taller ceiling is just cool. There’s nothing worse for a guy taller than 5’10” having to crank his neck down like he’s entering the Paris Catacombs when trying to navigate a plane aisleway.
But the coolest part?
Predicting what travel will be like in 2050, the plane manufacturer said passengers will be able to relax in massage seats that also serve drinks and vitamins as needed and provide either a sea breeze or a scent of fresh pine. And sound showers will ease passengers into the perfect sleep, snug in the warm embrace of special shades to keep out the light.
Just one problem: this is supposed to be a mere 36 years in the future.
36 years ago was 1978. Air travel hasn’t improved much since then, and if anything, has gotten worse. At least the peanuts and drinks were free in 1978.
I don’t hold much hope for future planes to look like this.
But if they do—we’re definitely in for a treat.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
