This awesome futuristic aircraft could be one of
the way people use for long journeys in the year 2050. With a thorough design
inside and out, the model plane contain a huge cabin with 1,000 seats, virtual
reality headsets, live image projections on the walls instead of windows and open
living room anticipated to improve the passenger experience. The enormous
curved plane is the idea of a group from Airport Parking & Hotels and
Imperial College London, who set out to forecast what the future of air-flight
could accurately be like in next 30 to 40 years.
With a comprehensive reconsideration, the team, counting
aircraft design PhD student Adam Omar, came up with an advanced plane that endures
some of the hallmarks of today’s aircrafts and next-generation technology. Thanks
to its combined wing design its fuselage would be extensive and shorter and it
wouldn’t have a tail wing, and it would be driven by six biofuel machines at
the back of the plane. The extended body, with bigger wings, would offer
cabin space for up to 1,000 travelers, but the designers say the airplane would
have more room than today’s planes regardless of having so many people on
board.

As the plane has very few windows, Transparent LCD
screens on the walls show the view outside or films, or any other sort of
entertainment stuff.

Backseat monitors would use the technology of the
past but replaced with virtual reality headsets that are assembled with the
seats with wraparound screens that show films or games in full 3D. These screens
are aimed to automatically fold away on departure and landing or any event of
an emergency.
In order to improve the passenger experience, the
team targeted to design a plane that is way more fuel efficient and less dangerous
to the environment. Automatically excluding the dependence on fossil fuels. You
