European Aircraft Industry: Airbus unveils 2050 concept cabin

Airbus has unveiled a series of stunning images of what air transport could look like for passengers in 2050. The aircraft features "intelligent" cabin walls which would become transparent and also could control the air temperature of the cabin. They would also change according to light conditions.

"The aircraft's bionic structure mimics the efficiency of bird bone which is optimized to provide strength where needed," said Airbus.

Charles Champion, Airbus executive vice-president engineering: "Our research shows that passengers of 2050 will expect a seamless travel experience while also caring for the environment." Different class cabins are eliminated and replaced with different zones for relaxation or work. Passengers would even be able to play holographic games while on board.
