Airbus has unveiled its vision of what future aircraft could look like and how they could change passengers’ in-flight experiences by 2050. It’s the manufacturer’s hope that it will be able to build these one day.

In a video, Airbus shows a plane that doesn’t need cabin crew, who have been replaced with hand-print scanners to check travellers in, as well as a screen that shows them the location of their seat on the plane. The passenger then puts their carry-on onto a platform on the wall, and its taken to the overhead compartment from there.

The traveller then goes to their seat in the ‘Smart Tech’ zone, which is designed for more functional-oriented passengers. It features, what the company calls, a ‘chameleon-style offering’ that will meet travellers’ individual needs, as well as allow them to continue life as if they were on the ground.

Passengers will be able to walk to the centre of the aircraft to the ‘Interaction’ zone. Here they can see where the flight is on a world map, play leisure activities like golf, hold an in-flight conference or have a couple of drinks at a bar that appears to come up from the floor.

Travellers will also be able to change where their seat is, and in the video, the passenger moves to the ‘Visualizing’ zone. There is a transparent roof here, which will give passengers panoramic views, but the material used is obviously strong enough to withstand the pressures of flight. Customers will also be able to relax in this section with antioxidant and vitamin enriched air, acupressure and aromatherapy treatments and mood lighting.
