  • What will an aircraft cabin look like in the future? A utopian experience with onboard spas and golf, or perhaps a utilitarian nightmare with triple stacked bunk beds and standing saddle seats. Let's count down the best new cabin ideas and what it will be like to fly on tomorrow's aircraft.
    -------------------------
    Aircraft cabins have come a long way. Back in the golden age of aviation, there was not even classes and many people sat with the equivalent of a business class seat today. Over time new classes developed and luxury was given to more premium passengers while the economy cabin was more dense and packed. However, it doesn't always have to be that way, and aircraft designers are looking at ways to bring back some of the golden age splendor to plane cabins today.
    Starting off our list today is an aircraft cabin design from Airbus themselves for the close year of 2030. Integrating augmented reality throughout the cabin sees Airbus creating an environment that is designed specifically for flexible seating and sleeping configuration. It will have things like an inflight lounge with transformable modules with the cabin layout changing depending on who has booked what seats. Airbus has also featured a "interactive zone". The virtual pop up projections in this area can transform you to whichever social scene you want to be in, from holographic gaming to virtual changing rooms for active shoppers. You might even be able to work out, although without showers on board it might be very smelly indeed.
    Many future cabin concepts are removing windows as they are weak when it comes to aircraft design. Not only do they add more drag to the plane increasing fuel burn, but as soon as an airline perfects virtual windows that are infinity bigger than real ones, or they allow passengers to change the view on a dime.
    But what about low-cost carriers like Ryanair and easyJet who want as many passengers as possible. Introducing the monstrosity Delft University of Technology's collapsing bed concept. In-seat mode, the beds collapse into a bench that can sit three passengers, then after take-off, they can deploy into a triple stacked bunk.They also came up with an alternative bed along with the wall design, that can replace those boring window seats with triple decked lie-flat beds in economy.
    For that, we have the Chaise Longue design with passengers suspended on swinging chairs above one another. This design doubles the number of passengers onboard with double seats per row above one another. The seat will able to rock back and forth depending on if you want to sit or lie down.
    We can't leave these crazy designs without mentioning the standing seat design from Aviointeriors Skyrider. These saddle based standing seats only have 23 inches (58 cm) between rows and would allow operators for short-haul flights to turn planes into flying buses.
    Then there is the question of the cargo cabin. On ultra long haul flights like London to Sydney, do aircraft need to use an entire cargo deck for cargo? Why not use the third deck for private cabins, spas, business meeting rooms or perhaps even an onboard gym. The Earth Bay’s cargo hold conversion sees it transformed with large windows and relaxed common spaces.
    So far Airbus has pitched the concept for its Airbus A350 aircraft to Qantas, but we have yet to see if the Australian airline will bring it to the market. Other concepts that didn't make the list include the collins aerospace cabin crew jump seat, allowing flight attendants to rest in a zero-g experience.
    Then there is the Heinkel Group’s reversible commuter seats that allow groups to chat together - which is very similar to the Q-suite design from Qatar.
    British Firm PriestmanGoode has imagined future scenarios and taken into account new passenger behaviors driven by the global crisis. Coming up with a design called the PureSkies that can be implemented within a few years and will meet user and airline requirements for many years ahead.These concepts feature a completely redesigned economy cabin with staggered seats that are separated from one another - so that passengers can travel alone, as a couple or as a group. They have placed a divider between each row to give that sense of privacy and protection.
    As inflight entertainment is a major touchpoint, it has been removed in favor for a passenger's own device. But the real experience is in the pure skies business class cabin. Featuring something that looks like a massage day spa, each seat is seperated by a curtain and kept away from the hustle and bustle of the cabin. The seats have a minimal split line with no cracks and is created from antimicrobial materials. Passengers will have control over lights, temperature and have a personalized wardrobe for storage.
    Cozy indeed. In fact, this plane design is so hygienic that before boarding, the aircraft fills with fogging disinfectant and has ultraviolet lights, sterilizing a good chunk of the environment.

    Hearing about windows being potentially removed in the future was so incredibly anxiety inducing I can't even begin to describe it. Virtual screens would undoubtedly be larger than traditional windows, and this idea seems to have been made without the comfort of the one of the most common fears in the world: the fear of flying. I myself have this fear and while my anxiety was not so crippingly that it stops me from last I checked, the only real thing that helps it while on board without taking any meds is the ability to close the window on my own yet still know that the window is there so I don't feel like I'm trapped. A windowless tube with a digital screen would ABSOLUTELY make me feel like the walls are closing in the more anxious I got, and without that physical feeling of being able to close something/occasionally check outside/REALLY see outside not through a camera to make sure I am grounded/not losing my mind I think I would honestly not be able to fly again...Then there's the skylight that you would literally have no control over...The whole concept alone is terrifying me way more than when I know I have to get on a plane. Typing this out and thinking about how I would feel is honestly freaking me out and I am not at all an anxious person outside of flying/heights (which is really where my fear of flying comes from). These are horrible ideas and I hope they never get implemented.

In order for this new way of travel will only happen when new engines are designed, no more jet engines that take too long and are environmentally harmful.

    I don´t get why everybody is complaining about those "standing" seats. They are meant only for short-term flights like 1-3 hours. Have you ever been on a bus or a tram in rush hour? If you are going from one terminal station to another, you can stand there for 2 hours as well. You only have the possibility pretty much to stand. So these "standing" seats give you at least a bit of comfort so that you can rest at least a bit. ;)

    The odd comment: in most flights, when we count the door to door travel time, flying is actually the shortest period. Going to and from the airport, and the time spent at the airports, usually takes longer. Security checks are the most annoying part of air travel. I would gladly fly 2 hours on less than ideal conditions, if time and hassle on the ground would be reduced.
    By the time we actually board the plane, we are already tired and stressed out. And there's nothing a good cabin can do about that. In conclusion: cheers for cabin improvements, but please focus on the ground experience too!

      Already some airports are improving it a lot, with 3D baggage scanners (which does not require unpacking your luggage and are 2-3 times faster per lane) or more sane security policies.

    • @thetrainhopper8992

      Another thing that applies in the US is the big airlines actually using secondary airports. I don't appreciate having to drive over an hour to the big hub just because they think it's cheap or whatever. I'd much prefer going to the airport that's 30 minutes away. This is the main reason I fly on Southwest and now Frontier, I dont have to deal with SFO.

  • @AdrianCubed

    Ryan Air is deffo behind the scenes being approached by these standing saddle seat designer firms. Honestly I hope those very same designers go to hell, designing a "seat" like that. We're flying in an aircraft... not a roller coaster.
    Pure Skies concept is really beautiful, considered and feasible for both High speed rail and Aircraft applications. Well done!
    The airbus concept is great... a bit flashy and trying to do too much but some of the concepts like the Point of order service from galley to seat can greatly benefit airlines cost wise as less crew are required (like on Norwegian) they're just there to facilitate light transactional service and dont really attend to anyone. I'd say give it 20years before we're all flying crewless or 1-2 cabin crew and single pilot only + AI flights. 3 staff planes lol.

    I personally don't think electronic windows will be a good idea. I very much prefer a windowed fuselage, rather than a fuselage without windows and having electronic windows inside instead. In case there's a power outage, these electronic windows can turn off, making the fuselage interior look like a pitch black hollow interior of a metal tube. You really don't want to be in that situation as it can be terrifying.

    I’m retired, with the ability to travel whenever I want, within reason. I travel to enjoy myself, not to experience a cattle car. My wife and I have not taken many trips recently. The biggest reason for me is the discomfort of sitting in coach. Airlines pay attention to the business traveler, and pack the leisure passengers in as an afterthought. If we are any example they are losing quite a bit of money.
    With COVID19 emptying planes maybe they will try to improve the experience for coach to lure us back. We shall see.
    The nonsense of playing virtual golf will not happen until airlines eliminate turbulence. It’s bad enough to have passengers stretching their legs, and going to the bathroom while they are trying to sell drinks. Clear air turbulence is real and not conducive to walking around.

    86ing windows is a bad idea because without natural light, it'll create issues with an emergency evacuation.

Emergency path lights only provide some assurance when things go awry.
