Airbus plans for 2050 flight travel!

[lawrawrrr]

Don't see how that'd be possible to make.. Nice though, but seems a bit plain.

With a hell of a lot of money. TBH I can't see it going ahead (quite on this extent anyway), it seems much more of a concept than an actual idea. Bit elaborate to spend so much money building virtual golf rooms, when they could use that space for more seats (hence earning them more money per flight).

However, I can see some upgrading going on in first class though, such as the front end of the cabin all being made in the plexiglass (or w/e they use) stuff. First class is already being upgraded like this though, I think it;s the Virgin double decker planes that have the first class 'suites' as such, with massage chairs, and plans for amenities like beauty treatments etc. Little bit OTT... but if I had the money to fly first class then I would not be complaining!!

omg that looks amazing, I would love transparent floor though it might be scary, who cares I would love it so much. Would just be weird being to see around everywhere. Imagine going through a thunderstorm wow

We won't be alive in 2050 people! remember, we got 2012 coming up and then there's global warming climate change to look forward to! On a serious note however, it won't look like this - our expectation of what we think is 'modern' or will be modern always changes, just look at 1950's predictions of what today would look like turned out like.

I can't see airlines splashing out on this to be fair, and were will they paint their theme colours on the plane if its glass haha

Well true, it's mad what you can do with money.

Haha I guess but seriously it's not as good, then again it could be an attraction... what would passengers rather have, that or the paint of the airline haha

To be fair, the rate of technological advancement is exponential so we can't compare 1950-2000 with 2000-2050.
