The Future of Flying - Is Sustainable Air Travel Possible?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- This is the first vlog in a series that will explore the sustainability in aviation. I travelled to Amsterdam to learn how KLM is taking a leading role in creating a more sustainable future for aviation.
In the video, I was shown how an airline can recycle plastic bottles onboard to create useful tools by 3D printing. I also learn about the challenge of developing sustainable aviation fuel. The KLM cabin crew showed me how they are recycling and reusing plastic materials in the food tray. A pilot also explained many ways they could reduce fuel burn.
I travelled to the Technical University of Delft to see the design of the Flying V, a futuristic V shape aircraft. I was shown the mock up model, which should have its first test flight later this year. I was also shown many interesting future cabin design ideas, such as a flat bed in economy and staggered seating.
Just to give you some background in this vlog. When I was traveling to Amsterdam in December (before flying Xiamen Air to China) I saw how sustainability as a much discussed topic. I contacted KLM, a leader in this field if they can show me what they've done so far and what they are planning to do for the future. This is the first vlog in the series to explore and learn about sustainability in aviation. I will look at other airlines during the year to see many different approach and initiatives in this relatively new field.
Hey i love watching your videos, its amazing to watch all the videos, and i would love to work for you if possible. Thank you
I was There too, my godmother is flight attendant in KLM.
Love this video! Look forward to the series. Fantastic to see real creativity towards innovation with sustainability!
Nice to see resources go towards real innovations, rather than needless gratuitous luxuries of yet more boring amenity kits, or how many lights, computers screens a first class seat needs! We all love luxury, but let's do it more sensibly.
Well done KLM! And well done Sam for your work and continued variety with purpose!

Sam Chui Hi Sam, always enjoy your videos (and bravo to KLM, I enjoy flying your airline and nice to know what you’re doing to help protect the environment and lessen your footprint), but asking if flight is sustainable seems to buy into the crazy that the left promotes today or at worst is just click bait. I will assume its the crazy left as opposed to click bait as your videos get so many views you don’t need to do that. Of course flights are sustainable. Flying becomes safer, more efficient (less fuel) and with less impact on the environment, both noise and air quality every year. In the last 50 years emissions have been reduced by 50% and though carbon footprints are temporarily inflated as China, India and other 2nd, 3rd world economies start to make the transition to economies that are strong enough to pay the price of lower to now emission types of energy, proper sewage, cleaner water, cleaner air and proper disposal of single use plastics into the oceans. Imagine how clean the air over China would be if they would not participate in an Arms race and the invested 1/2 of the money they are currently spending on energy in infrastructure that they could then export to other county’s at an affordable cost. I’m excited about this time in our lives as we use our intellect to design, create and build planes, plants, industry, farming, truly all aspects of our economies into a more ecologically friendly way without the 10-12 year hysteria that the left seems to love to use to scare people. I enjoyed the video, but the title seems political?
06:33 "..yeah, what's wrong with the carpet?" ahahah lmao
Steve P. 😂😂😂
HAHAHA
LOL
LOL
He also totally ignored her excitement of the carpet being recycled uniforms. He immediately started asking about the seat 😂
The TU Delft students are one of the smartest kids in the Netherlands. Great to see them helping KLM shape the future of aviation.
??
Right..they are apes
Firstly, being tall is usually perceived as a compliment and it was a purely spontaneous comment. Although I am British, I’m living in The Netherlands for 25 years and I know that the Dutch are not easily offended and they like to say things as they are. I am sure the lady was in no way hurt by Sam’s comment.
The reason that KLM is perceived as an innovative company is because they try out new ideas and concepts. All the different seating and beds are mock ups. They were simply showing the process of learning by trying ideas out. I don’t understand all the rude comments.
My wonderful Dutch wife has been working for KLM for more than 30 years and I can tell you that KLM is a fantastic company to work for. I am very proud of this organization the way they treat their employees and that they are always thinking outside the box to improve the aviation industry as a whole.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS, COS’ YOU ROCK!
This "Future Of Flying" serie is really a great idea! Stoked to see what you got for us next Sam!
This video was a real treat - thanks Sam / KLM!!
“Very tall” way to complement a girl 😂😂 nice one sam 🙈
This guy is really awkward
Try "really slim" next time 😉
He always says the most inappropriate things. It's not the first time iv seen him do it. He needs a few lessons on his manners. I still enjoy his videos.
When?
I wouldn't say anything
Wow... Amazing...
This would take aviation to the next level...
And a huge thank you once again to you Sam...
You literally don't only cover airline reports but you cover each and every aspect of the aviation industry....
Hats off to you and your team...
The Dutch are always innovative!!
9:51 I can’t lie, I’m really gonna miss the big blue majestic 747. How I miss the 1990s 😞
The 747 is still gonna be here but in a lower class of planes
Wait what happened to the 747 for klm
@@yummy9731 they are being phased out as they are all becoming increasingly old and with age comes more to maintenance. So sadly they will not be longer in the KLM fleet. The end of an era...
Krullenbos I just looked it up thanks for the answer to my question rip the 747 400 dutch queen of the skies you will be missed
I am glad I saw one of the 12 747s of the klm fleet in real life
Thanks, Sam!!! We can always count on you for the best aviation content!!!
Fascinating and yes, sustainability is possible - we have to make it so! Thanks for sharing this most interesting topic. Wishing you a safe and very happy 2020. Looking forward to seeing your future videos. Hello from London : - )
Great Vlog!! I have been following the Flying V concept for some time now.. It is possible but in reality we are years away from it and I believe by then the interior issues will be resolved ,more open and more efficient.. Great job Sam!!!
Jalabola
"Is this economy class?" No, that's below economy. That's claustrophobic class 😮😂
Funeral class..
@@Dubz0408 😂😂😂
I'm all for letting economy travelers have a little taste of the flying berth but that is way too cramped and has to take into account the size of the personal belongings a typical traveller takes with him/her.
Lol
sardine class
Thank you for taking us in to the future of aviation world. As usual, a great video Sam.
Your videos are amazing! I flew more than 30 different airlines in my life but I never flew on a KLM before. After watching your video, I feel really tempted to doing so in my next flight to Europe!
The futuristic plane model looks like a boomerang
Yep, hopefully it doesn't fly like one :O
Zkoon when it always comes back then yes sign me up
@@heteindiszoek11 Yeah, but the rotation of the whole aircraft would be... Interesting!
Ok boomer-ang
@Zkoon there is always a point that does not rotate
Hi Sam, I have been watching these models of aircraft that are winged on NASA X. I have been watching them since 2012, when I was in year 5 and am very thankful to you for bringing that technology into your content.
What a great idea Sa.m, that's awesome and much fun flying the V shape aircraft, thanks for sharing
Sam this is by far your best work!
I swear those tiny beds look like death beds... it’s scary... or maybe it’s just me being afraid of what I cannot see. Or claustrophobic.
I would love this to happen for economy class it's a dream for me the Best aviation aidea ever
It's not just you. They're truly awful. I can't even imagine getting into one of those. How would you even get out of it...do they slide you out like one of those morgue storage things?
Its like opening a drawer and puttimg yourself into it.
and yet you sit in economy class on seats that are tight as hell
Voted scary...
14:40 oh great... staggered high lo high lo... so guy up high farts, it goes straight to my face
Special aroma.
Haha Underated XD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SOOOO FUNNY! Gas is really bad on some flights.....KLM, this is a very bad idea LMAO
Integrated air suction on each seat.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic video with some great ideas, Thanks Sam
that 777 landing at 9:06 is beautiful. also great video Sam love it!
Awesome video and love how KLM is taking the lead (correct me if I’m wrong) to support the environment while still getting people places quickly
Wow Sam, This is really interesting! 👍
Hi verified person
Another excellent Vlog, Sam! Thanks again.
OMG!
Sustainability in air travel is so important!
Not only will it be better for the environment, it will save cash too!
And that flying V looks amazing!
I look forward to when it is in production!
Can't wait for Sam to hit 2mil, it will be well deserved!!
Thanks I'll take the train & enjoy myself, see the country you're traveling over, way more comfortable! We've become obsessed with speed slow down alittle and enjoy your life more!
mhm yes i love riding trains across the ocean…
KLM keep going, I really believe in this V-shape flying concept
Great stuff again Sam...the planet thanks you !!
In the PANAM era they used stainless steel silverware, real glass for drinking glasses and porcelain dishes. Only cleaning and it was new. Very durable. But because of costs, they ditched those for one time use plastics.
Crazy world!
Rudi van Doornegat If people were willing to pay for it, all those nice things would come back. Remember that during those wonderful times ticket prices were regulated.
Hi Sam ! Are you going to film today Boeing 777X first flight ?
Hello sir :) :)
Oh hey
Ur french aren’t you
@@mmbaguette1520 Nope
I thought "Enterprise" from Star Trek when I saw the V-shaped model. I am not surprised the KLM is working on ways to recycle and economize flying. In the early 1980's I traveled extensively, quite often using KLM. They were my favorite in those days. They were always so clean and efficient. Leave it to the Dutch to always be one step ahead in engineering. Great video Sam ...as usual.
Great topic Sam! Love you’re videos.
Hope you enjoyed your stay in the Netherlands Sam 🇳🇱!
KLM are my favourite airline!
KLM is myt favourite anime
Yeah me too
The best duo of civil aviation: AirFrance-KLM
very nice video Sam! Quality is amazing. Love how KLM doing all these small things to reduce waste.
Fascinating, you have some great videos on here!
LOVE KLM!
All these are very good “I-dears”.
FINALY, SOME INFO ABOUT MY PROGECT, thanks, that was realy cool
TU Delft is doing it's best in every field
Wow, lovely episode!
Could you make a series of this?
Could we send your video to the Dutch press?
Because the aren't good in this kind of information, the only talk negative about the aviation.
That's what I am aiming for , to learn and show about sustainability in aviation with other airlines and companies in a mini series throughout the year.
@@SamChui awesome
I admire KLM not changing their COLOUR scheme on their airplane
What a great Vlog, great info of the future. Thank you.
Great job KLM and Sam, will be great to see what are the other airlines are doing!
When Sam told the KLM lady she is very tall that was super awkward😐
Sam is always very akward, it's great to watch!
Sam, please do not comment on people’s physical characteristics, especially when abroad
The Dutch are used to blunt questions .? They do that all the time.
@Chadwicked B very rude. You should've answered him/her politely. Where are your manners, in your ass?
TomLuke Always awkward, or "flirt" the cabin crew =D else he won't be the top aviation bloggers and almost everyone likes him.
Anything is possible, whether it's probable is a different question.
I'm really happy you did this.
i like the seats that can do 3 positions. standing up during longhauls is a super great idea
Not the best airline, but we have the most beautiful livery among Air New Zealand.
Milly I agree
Milly they do have a nice livery but i like Royal Air Marco’s livery too
The Dutch are clever people. The big apple before being named NY, up to 1664 was named New amsterdam. I flew klm during the Christmas break. VCE-AMS LBA-AMS - VCE. Something good will come out of the V project.
@Cujo19760210 I remember the good old days of Ajax, and it's revolutionary way of playing, cryuff, rep, neeskens ecc what a team. Feyenoord too. In 1974 they failed to lift the world cup because of unexperience. After 60 seconds they were leading 1-0 against Germany.
RIP Rob RENSENBRINK 1947-2020.
Very little here has to do with Dutch cleverness. Most of these ideas are coming from other nations, and what doesn't is just absurd. Saving space is easy, just cram bodies into any open space you can find. Now, getting people to be comfortable while flying and balancing that with efficiency is not easy. The Dutch haven't been clever enough to find a better balance.
Maybe clever, but unfortunately I don't think they are able to build this machine themselves
I really like the sustainability ideas! Well done Sam.... give me some ❤️🤗
Next generation Project for sustainability in aviation.Thanks KLM
Yes sustainable air travel is possible, when we evolve into winged beings and no longer have to use any thing other than our own energy to fly 😂
That’s right
clinto56 lol
What happens to the airline industry when the oil runs out?
@@voxer99 haven't you been watching these piece explaining the bio and synthetic types of fuel, and effort on sustainable fuel?
@@crashzg Where does the synthetic fuel come from?
"After a long flight I became handsome."
😂
You're always handsome. Beautiful smile.
brilliant as always!!
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Imagen looking out of the Aircraft’s windows and there’s no wing...
and you feel the whole cabin going up and down
JoJo lmao
Imagine sitting on the inner side of the wing and there are no windows...
5:26 The way he says that line is so Sarcastic in a way😂
Aditya Surya yeah
Aditya Surya Lmaoo yeah he really did😂😂
I have a collection of these houses from my time flying KLM Aberdeen / Amsterdam to DXB. during the noughties. I really liked KLM. I hope you're going back to see the flying V test flight. Once again a top insight to aviation.
I wanted to board KLM 787 so much. Thx for showing us such a great insight and footage.
1:36
No one ever:
Sam: Very tall 😂
Ivan Čupić she is tho like 6’2 😂😂
8:07 *“you can sh*t on one engine”*
Amazing concept towards a better and cleaner future!! Soon !! Thanks @samchui
This is absolutely awesome!!!
Thank you, really helpful video, love from India 🇮🇳❣️
Nice to see airlines takings steps for sustainable flying...whether it's all just marketing remains to be seen.
Genki's Travels Of course its all marketing however its good marketing so I’m fine with it
The „higher lower“ seats looking amazing !!!
Fantastic programme, .
Will improve in future.
The Dutch never cease to amaze me, beginning with my major professor in grad school.
What's so amazing? Other nations are already heavily invested in these technologies. In fact, most of these technologies were developed by other nations.
Biggest boomerang ever, the issue with this plane it goes back to airport.
Eyyy return ticket is free 😃
Issue? Its goes to a different country and is guarantied
To come back not needing a pilot
I was thinking about how wide it is on each side. It seems to me that it might be affected more by turbulence. I could be very wrong though.
Don't they all??
Always love the bright blue paint job on the KLM and Korean Airways airliners.
Amazing job, you and KLM.
“240 hours to 3D print a stool “what about electricity required to drive the printer, don’t we loose sight of upstream effect of “sustainable “
It's mostly like this with 'alternatives'... They are actually just offset and PR exercises... No way is this a solution.
Diarmaid O'Riordan and how are wind turbines, solar panels and nuclear power stations made?
very true. the energy and water used to clean that plastic cutlery...
doesn't sound that it makes sense
Diarmaid O'Riordan Diarmaid O'Riordan but when they are at the end of they’re life they need to be recycled. Look at an electric car that needs to ride more than 450.000 miles before they are better than a 2020 Diesel. Wind turbines are not viable and are leaking sulfurhexafluoride, which is an extremely heavy greenhouse gas. But climate change is big bullshit so idc about CO2 and Nitrogen emission.
Just use wood and plant a tree
I like the exterior of flying V but inside is not that good. It's like collection of many concepts.
Its mixed like that because they wanted to show a few concepts without building 1:1 sections. It surely won't be like that in a real plane
Boeing wanted to build a flying wing back in the 90's instead of the 777. Couldn't get it past FAA for directional control during cross wind landings nor cargo balance issues. Flying wing is the holy grail of Aviation, but it has problems.
Great video. That V shape plane looks fantastic.
I am amazed by seeing the future modle of klm nice you are a excellent RUclips er
Nice flight of air .....KLM!
15:21 They've made a real Dutch oven.
😄😃😃
Amazing and exciting for many reasons. Glad to see air aviation tackle the so far very bad negative impact on the environment. Also glad to hear the long process of due diligence before such a new design is deemed safe and ready -unlike Boeing which rushes through its process and cuts corners in the name of profit. Interesting video.
We LOVE to see it
2:29 "we did a pilot" said 2 sisters XD
15:31 looks like human storage lol
A cheap design rip-off, of a design in the 1997 movie "The Fifth Element".

You would have to be an asian to get used to small spaces like that let alone fit in there.
There is no way that cabin looks so uncomfortable anything over 2 hours forget it.wait to see the other cabins before I decide on the whole plane.
@@darrellstaples7011 i agree with u
😂😂
Love the look of the Flying V !
No looking at the wing/engines out the window, we'll be IN the wing ! Uncanny !
I like this type of content! Keep it up! Also, I hope you visit Expo 2020 Emirates in Dubai when it launches!
When i think of a flying V. I think of a guitar lmao
I think of Mighty Ducks.
I am thinking about a bomber plain
@@Locutus until the bash brothers roll up ahahahaha
Haha its a Burton snow board for me
Maroon 5
11:30 it looks like it would be a headic to flight mechanics, if they need to reach the landig gear wells :/
We are Dutch we just grow taller 😉
You forgot the engines😉
@@koen2062 then we just grow even taller. Imagine that people that are over 10 meters tall.
For landing gear Use a ladder.
The problem is more for engine maintenance if they need to lift heavy parts.
And it would be interesting to see how an engine change would work. Today we normally bootstrap it
Salueos from Guanajuato México i love your videos🤩
Great Video. I've nevervseen the Flying V concept in a commercial setting.
Star trek the next generations ship : uss enterprise
Delft here
It won't be the USS Enterprise but the ZM Delft or (ZM =zijner majesteit/ translated to His majesty or HM Delft.
My question is, where would the emergency exits be on the flying v?
There aren't. Its saves fuel and if something bad happens and nobody can't escape, it helps fighting the population growth on our dear planet, thus also good for the invironment. It is a very smart design.
Thanks for the vlog. You're cool man.😎😎👍😎👍😎😎😎✈
this aza will be the show will give almost no drag !!!!
Damn, I'm from Belgium but I truly think that nederlanders are special.. Like the way they are
ayrton lunguana that Nederlanders 😂 thx man
Indeed. The Dutch are very special.

Real people in Netherlands.
What's so special about them? Most of this technology was developed by other nations.

AWESOME video! Sustainability should definitely be the top priority on airlines nowadays.
The staggered seating idea is cool
