Future Flight

Flight offers a rapid ‘zip wire’ to a world of experiences, and despite environmental concerns our taste for jet-setting is ever increasing. With the skies set to become increasingly crowded, what will the next generation of planes feature? And what’s in store for the passenger of the future?

Fancy your train airlifted as part of a ‘multimodal’ transport system? Or how about a couple of weeks in a luxury hybrid ‘aircruiser’? Bauhaus Luftfahrt, an aeroplane think-tank, scan the horizon to create highly creative but realistic concepts that address the future demands of aviation. Take a trip through their blue-sky solutions and have your say on their innovative ideas.

Hear about plans to forge an environmentally sustainable flying future from Paul Hooper and the issues involved in designing next-generation propulsion from Chez Hall.
What is coming up in aircraft interior and airport design?Steve Lee will be on hand as we find out more.
