My favorite line: “Our research shows that passengers of 2050 will expect a seamless travel experience while also caring for the environment,” Charles Champion, Airbus Executive Vice President Engineering.

I wonder how they researched what passengers of 2050 expect. If they invented time traveling, they should demo that instead.

Besides the fact that it's going to be a "reality" in 2050 which means it has a high chance of never becoming a reality as discussed today, it's a pretty cool concept video. I'm that guy who loves staring out the window every 10-20 mins or so. I'd enjoy it if it was used in production today. Not sure what the state of the art will be in 40 years.



They interviewed 6 year olds clearly.

I love these "visions" that constantly get thrown about with no discussion as to how or why the airlines would want this for their business.
