I'm hopeful for the future... 1903 the Wright brothers invented the first crude airplane... alot has change in 100 years. Yep this is possible... new discoveries being made all the time. I'm sure this will become a reality.
By the 40's you had airplanes basically the same as today. Rows of seats on an aircraft with a cockpit at the front. All that has changed is speed of aircraft. Even the fastest commercial aircraft practically was the same. Two wings, rows of seats and cockpit at the front. Thankfully an aircraft like this will never happen
It would be very frightening. I've been in high turbulence before but only once on Thai Airways was it raining. The pilots know what they're doing only when the glidescope isn't used.
+Andres Caldas safer, cheaper and faster doesnt make money. Turning an aircraft into a theater, hotel, entertainment center, sports and leisure center does.
+Miroslav Milosevic unfortunately that's not true. Think about it: you are an airline and you have the option to fit your new A380 with either a gym or more economy seats. While the gym is cooler and a good selling point, it's not making money. we are at a stage where aircraft design and innovation regarding the experience have taken a back seat position to give way to the increasing amount of people capable of buying that airline ticket. the key to staying competitive right now is to use less fuel per kilometer, put more people in a unit and make it all faster.
fromcincinnati Etihad fitted some of their A380 with The Residence. It's a super-first class with an apartment with private toilets and dedicated flight attendants. Price to fly it is greater or equal than hiring a bizjet, but the demand is quite good, while the toll in overall seat capacity of the aircraft is minute. The newest from them is B789 with half the floor dedicated for business and first class, so it seats just around 230 pax. Business and first class passengers generate more revenue per space aboard and fuel consumed. And there are more and more high class fliers every day. And it all doesnt mean the economy will disappeareven then some no-frills carrirs of the future will fly people at very long distances in economy seats similar to today's
I love how the company came from rock bottom to one of the most efficient,high tech safe airlines in the world,one day I want to design a plane for airbus!

@@emperorryanii I'm an architecture student now. I don't really expect my future work as an architect to pay off a private jet but it doesn't matter anymore. I could work in the aerospace industry as a designer.
Dimitris Tsekeris , that’s so cool! 😄 , It’s nice to see you change your mind four years later, 😂, I’m striving and preparing be in the Cruise Ship Design Company.
Ah the "Temporarily embarrassed millionaire" lol. If there's one thing I've learned with age its that the material things in life matter so little. Yet it seems like so many young people hyper fixate on the crazy things they _could_ own if only they get the money to afford them when they're older.
11.5 years on and honestly aviation is no closer to this, held back by rising manufacturing costs, rework, increased certification and technological stagnation. The MAX crisis and Boeing’s continual delays should’ve been an opportunity for Airbus to power ahead but we’ve yet to see anything revolutionary in commercial aerospace. Hopefully by the start of the 2030’s and in 11.5 years time I can comment on this again and hope we start making progress towards this concept.
It’s absolutely amazing and magical of the sound showers, check in in the plane, put your baggage in the plane but not in the terminal, you can just sway your hand to get less sunshine and you can choose your activity in the middle of the flight and the plane!
+Garret Wang Exactly what im thinking. What type of energy harvesting seat?? Its sort of creepy to think about being harvested for your energy on a plane...
Physics: *exist* Boeing: heeeeeey vsauce Michael here. But seriously, Airbus knows that physics won’t change in 30 years right? Those seats alone will be more dangerous than airline seats in the 80s
Hello, TheCharger895. I am the Admissions rep at Caribbean Aerospace College, and I would like to defend the aviation industry moving towards new technology. All large airplanes already fly them selves! its true, The planes made in modern day are all computer operated and are able to fly themselves, IN THEORY! Pilots WILL ALWAYS be needed no matter how much technology evolves. What will change is the way a pilots are trained and educated! I encourage you follow your dream in becoming a pilot!
Crash into the ocean? Mmmm if that happens I don't think the first thing that you would be worried about is looking up and looking at the water, as well as that would be like a 1/1000000000000000000000 chance :)
An activity area where only one single person at a time can make use of? In current airplanes it can be difficult already to get into one of the 16 (or so) lavatories.
I don't think I'd feel comfortable with the open "air" design where you are flying & can see everything around you. I think those should be special seats if passengers want that. Many people are nervous fliers & that would probably creep them out. The center area would have to go. There's no way passengers would not be injured if there's a turbulence patch they are going through. Too many injuries right there plus lawsuits, since people are lawsuit happy these days. Everything else though looks cool.
A plane with panoramic views,night time star filled skys no tiny lttle windows,dont need to go anywhere just what the experience,if you cant afford V galactic,best concept ever
I'm so glad I'm ten. Because in 50 years I'll be 50 and can enjoy these awesome Boeing and Airbus planes. I'll remember those 737MAX and 777x and all those A350 from the old generation. But what I think could be a good idea is to make a plane like this but instead put it on a350 models and 777x models and 737max models and a350 models. That could be so cool.
Dude focus on your math. It's 2014 and I'm nine. In 2015 years I'll be ten. And the plane is out in 2050. So 2050-_____=2015. 35 is the answer now add 10 to 35 which is 45 and round it to the nearest ten. And boom 50 years.
Roberto Quesada True, but what you said was: "Glad i'm ten, because IN 50 YEARS" (do you mean in 40 years?) that means 10+50... you said you were 10, then you change it to 9?? But anyway, these are just concepts based in 2012, we don't know what we would be capable of when we reach 2050,, intergalactic travel maybe? You never know, people say it will never happen, but technology seems to be getting better every day, we might be looking to aircraft that look even better than these! ;)
For the first time this year I have been on A380. Its outstanding piece of engineering and luxurious. Also I made my first WiFi call whilst mid flight. Unfortunately family and friends didn't believe me I was calling them in mid flight. The future is bright.
this shows you how powerful our minds are to invent something like this. I sure hope cattle car seating (Spirit) becomes a thing of the past when this cabin comes around!.
This is so unrealistic in terms of what people want. You have to have a separate friggin degree to work some of the new technologies. Society is getting increasingly impatient and people who fly just want to get to their destination. They don't need to pass through all this tech stuff just to sit down...and I can't IMAGINE what the prices of tickets would be on these planes. However, the idea of a glass roof kind of plane is very cool. Might be a bit nerve-racking at first but it would be a very interesting experience to fly and see everything, not just whats outside each little window. All in favor of a panoramic view!
I find that ´´interaction´´ part of the plane unnecessary, because 1) it has not enough place for the passengers to be there, even first class 2) takes too much place 3) makes plane bigger, heavier= more fuel needed= not good for the future an last but not least 4) who the fck needs to play golf, while he´s sitting in a plane for max. ca. 12 hours?
lol of course not , the whole plane is shielded.What is happening is that the top part is covered by LEDs which are semiconductors like transistors and thus are getting smaller and more efficient each year.The LEDs are controlled to create high definition live footage of the outside of the aircraft. So yup those are NOT windows.
Yes it will. Many of the features mentioned in the video, such as a morphing seat, and holodeck, can be created now even with today's technology. It all comes down to time for engineers, but it will inevitably happen. Just think, 50 years ago, what did planes look like compared now?
Ethan Liu This will never happen as depicted in the video as that's just a shallow style demo that projects into the future our current bleeding edge tech fascinations. Planes changed a lot in the last 50 years but sure as hell they don't look remotely like what they drew on Popular Mechanics half a century ago.
abbundanz It isn't impossible. In japan, I've seen a lot of crazy futuristic items that people thought it will be impossible. Stop assuming things that look futuristic is impossible, unless if you're talking about the economy.
Tbh, i actually prefer todays airplanes. They just look so beautiful to me. Sure, this is REALLY high tech, but for me, flying is just so satisfying nowadays
This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!!! Because of this so many jobs would be lost and the unemployment rate would go up so much. I hope this never takes to the skies. Good job at failing Airbus. Again.
Also, half of this is virtually impossible. Open top? Seat changes? Those weird screens in front of you? Moving luggage racks? Reality games in the cabin? Instantly converting a cabin to a bar, conference/ game room? These people are going insane!!! You people who think that this is a good concept are totally crazy.
FlyAway FPV there is no open top. holograms are possible, moving luggage racks are completely possible, conference room I understand, making a bar is also easy, especially with todays technology, the game room? not so sure. as for moving seats, well, they are possible but they would most likely be set on rails that can congest. And the virtual screens are clearly not possible today, yes.
This is a very interesting design concept. While it will obviously require some breakthroughs in material sciences before these ideas can be implemented, it's certainly not beyond possibility based on research that is being undertaken today. I think part of the challenge facing Airbus and other operators of such aircraft in the future, will be convincing passengers that the new design is safe. It's so different to the traditional aluminum tube we're used to climbing inside of, that it may put some people off. Just think how scared some people are of walking over glass floors. Personally though I'd jump at the chance to fly in it! Well done Airbus for some blue sky thinking!
That's why engineering is awesome. It doesn't even matter if this will ever be real. But the ideas and concepts driving us forward are inspiring. There were and will always be evil people who use technology against us. It's the tech that changes. And as long as there is a majority of good people technology can help us to make the world better. technology is a tool, how we use it is up to us.
we don't have this kind of technology yet. this looks so advanced. it's like looking at a military grade vehicle. which may I remind you the military are a couple of years ahead of us.
Definitely possible! We are scratching the surface to break through new technological discoveries that will make any super computer today look like an Atari.... Give another century...
a lot of planes in the future will be made using non-metal elements such as carbon fibre.. like a lot of planes we see today.. like the Dreamliner and the A350.. both planes are made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. so a lot of planes in the future will be made using the same material.
that's a little tooo fancy for me. I just wanna be safe. just take me safely to my destination, and I'm grateful. really I am.

+Shaddia Batte Yep. Now, I need a beer.

This is what we thought the future of air travel will be in the 80's. And how far have we come. Pretty much not far
Yay
I'm so glad I'm ten. Because in 50 years I'll be 50 and can enjoy these awesome Boeing and Airbus planes. I'll remember those 737MAX and 777x and all those A350 from the old generation. But what I think could be a good idea is to make a plane like this but instead put it on a350 models and 777x models and 737max models and a350 models. That could be so cool.
You're ten alright... just focus on your math though, because 10+50=60 not 50
Dude focus on your math. It's 2014 and I'm nine. In 2015 years I'll be ten. And the plane is out in 2050. So 2050-_____=2015. 35 is the answer now add 10 to 35 which is 45 and round it to the nearest ten. And boom 50 years.
Roberto Quesada True, but what you said was: "Glad i'm ten, because IN 50 YEARS" (do you mean in 40 years?)
that means 10+50... you said you were 10, then you change it to 9??
But anyway, these are just concepts based in 2012, we don't know what we would be capable of when we reach 2050,, intergalactic travel maybe? You never know, people say it will never happen, but technology seems to be getting better every day,
we might be looking to aircraft that look even better than these! ;)
+Roberto Quesada I AM 10.
And the iPhone 69...
For the first time this year I have been on A380. Its outstanding piece of engineering and luxurious. Also I made my first WiFi call whilst mid flight. Unfortunately family and friends didn't believe me I was calling them in mid flight. The future is bright.
Guys who is watching this in 2020 lol
I will absolutely accept this plane to come true in real life and I loved the design of the plane!
I like to see that tech on a river cruise
Who is flying it ???
still a mystery
It's probably un manened
maybe autopilot system

You can see the cockpit on the lower front at 3:16
And still that's only a concept. ;-)
Oh.......Cool
this shows you how powerful our minds are to invent something like this. I sure hope cattle car seating (Spirit) becomes a thing of the past when this cabin comes around!.
This is so unrealistic in terms of what people want. You have to have a separate friggin degree to work some of the new technologies. Society is getting increasingly impatient and people who fly just want to get to their destination. They don't need to pass through all this tech stuff just to sit down...and I can't IMAGINE what the prices of tickets would be on these planes. However, the idea of a glass roof kind of plane is very cool. Might be a bit nerve-racking at first but it would be a very interesting experience to fly and see everything, not just whats outside each little window. All in favor of a panoramic view!
If Airbus does anything such as this, I'd take a preference riding with them every single time I fly :)
nope. not gonna fly this. it is too open for me...
scared much, i would fly it because then it gives a good panaramic view if it's a see throught one if it's a got a 360* view
Safety is number first priority.
good luck getting that shit through FAA
ikr
2:13 imagine if the seat is broken and u are spinning uncontrollably for the rest of the flight
I find that ´´interaction´´ part of the plane unnecessary, because 1) it has not enough place for the passengers to be there, even first class 2) takes too much place 3) makes plane bigger, heavier= more fuel needed= not good for the future an last but not least 4) who the fck needs to play golf, while he´s sitting in a plane for max. ca. 12 hours?
You need to understand the principle of a conception design. ;-)
Forget about it, no a single airline will make its planes so spacious.
Who wants to be fried by ultra high radiation at 37ft , stupid idea
yeah, everybody on the 3rd floor and up get fried :P
lol of course not , the whole plane is shielded.What is happening is that the top part is covered by LEDs which are semiconductors like transistors and thus are getting smaller and more efficient each year.The LEDs are controlled to create high definition live footage of the outside of the aircraft. So yup those are NOT windows.
Have you never heard of transparent aluminum ?. Obviously not, those are not glass windows. Glass, would be too heavy for that design...
Can't wait for the future to arrive!
Its nice to think it will but this will never happen
Yes it will. Many of the features mentioned in the video, such as a morphing seat, and holodeck, can be created now even with today's technology. It all comes down to time for engineers, but it will inevitably happen. Just think, 50 years ago, what did planes look like compared now?
Ture that will be so cool then
Ethan Liu This will never happen as depicted in the video as that's just a shallow style demo that projects into the future our current bleeding edge tech fascinations. Planes changed a lot in the last 50 years but sure as hell they don't look remotely like what they drew on Popular Mechanics half a century ago.
nothing is impossible
abbundanz It isn't impossible. In japan, I've seen a lot of crazy futuristic items that people thought it will be impossible. Stop assuming things that look futuristic is impossible, unless if you're talking about the economy.
this is a Epic idea. The future of the A380 will prob be like this
i think is stupid
Tbh, i actually prefer todays airplanes. They just look so beautiful to me. Sure, this is REALLY high tech, but for me, flying is just so satisfying nowadays
This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!!! Because of this so many jobs would be lost and the unemployment rate would go up so much. I hope this never takes to the skies. Good job at failing Airbus. Again.
Also, half of this is virtually impossible. Open top? Seat changes? Those weird screens in front of you? Moving luggage racks? Reality games in the cabin? Instantly converting a cabin to a bar, conference/ game room? These people are going insane!!! You people who think that this is a good concept are totally crazy.
FlyAway FPV there is no open top. holograms are possible, moving luggage racks are completely possible, conference room I understand, making a bar is also easy, especially with todays technology, the game room? not so sure.
as for moving seats, well, they are possible but they would most likely be set on rails that can congest. And the virtual screens are clearly not possible today, yes.
send the designers to the mental hospital
Impressed by the innovations in the plane even though the concept is 10 years old.
I'm commenting here on 2020, hey Airbus we are not that far from 2050, hurry up! :)
The see through roof would be majestic !!! ................
Love this! Make it so number 1!
This is a very interesting design concept. While it will obviously require some breakthroughs in material sciences before these ideas can be implemented, it's certainly not beyond possibility based on research that is being undertaken today. I think part of the challenge facing Airbus and other operators of such aircraft in the future, will be convincing passengers that the new design is safe. It's so different to the traditional aluminum tube we're used to climbing inside of, that it may put some people off. Just think how scared some people are of walking over glass floors. Personally though I'd jump at the chance to fly in it! Well done Airbus for some blue sky thinking!
That's why engineering is awesome. It doesn't even matter if this will ever be real. But the ideas and concepts driving us forward are inspiring. There were and will always be evil people who use technology against us. It's the tech that changes. And as long as there is a majority of good people technology can help us to make the world better. technology is a tool, how we use it is up to us.
That's really cool. I would pay good money to have a 20 hr flight to London on that thing.
This is basically the golden age of air travel but modernised
This is awesome... then everyone has a window seat.
looks cool as long as it is safe for people to fly around the world.
To be honest i like the future of airbus and boeing because of their design.
we don't have this kind of technology yet. this looks so advanced. it's like looking at a military grade vehicle. which may I remind you the military are a couple of years ahead of us.
Definitely possible! We are scratching the surface to break through new technological discoveries that will make any super computer today look like an Atari.... Give another century...
That. Is. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
finally golf on the airplane, on the way to the next golf course!... The sphere in the front with the view would fantastic.
This plane is fantastic!!!
As long as I can be a pilot that will fly it, I’m in
Looks fancy but it takes the joy out of flying. This could be anywhere.
I love airbus planes, and if they made this that would make me so happy. I would really want to fly in it
Some of this is extremely impractical. But I dig the windows!
i love the airplane i love the tecnology
Love the style!!Really magnificent!
creative and suitable for tourists
I like how avation is now. I don’t want it to change at all. Ijust want to fly the citation when I grow up.
seems a little far fetched but as the title states... it is the future of aviation... I like it, most impressive :)
Wow you are very ambitious airbus… I love that!
a lot of planes in the future will be made using non-metal elements such as carbon fibre.. like a lot of planes we see today.. like the Dreamliner and the A350.. both planes are made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. so a lot of planes in the future will be made using the same material.
The Concorde had futuristic new design like this. (for when it was introduced) It also had similarly designed engines. Now look where it is.
This plane is sooooooooooooo epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that awesome feeling you will probably live to see this
There is some pretty cool stuff awaiting us!!
I will most likely have left this earth by then...but I think it looks cool!
No way!!!! Amazing!!!
Thumbs up if you keep dreaming of this. I'll be 55 by 2050, how old are all you guys going to be by that year?
Dead, there's no such thing like future , it's all made by us. Said Elon Musk.
We may reach 2190 when we still use jet fuel
your old already lmao I will be 44 by 2050
