This is a wide-bodied, zero-emission supersonic aircraft, designed for long-haul routes. The fuselage is constructed of super-light and -strong nanoceramic material, which also withstands the heat caused by air friction very well. The aircraft’s intelligent, partly elastic wings take into account flight speed and weather conditions, thus saving energy and reducing aircraft noise. Passenger comfort is top class.
The aircraft is partly on two levels: entertainment and wellness services are situated under the cabin. In these areas the windows are replaced with AV windows, offering zoomable views of the sky or downwards to earth.
The cabin has intelligent seats, which adjust to the passenger’s weight, height and age. The seats assist passengers when they wish to stand up, and while in the seat, passengers can have their pulse, blood pressure and body temperature measured or enjoy a light massage and heat treatment. The seats are equipped with internet and satellite links, and the backrest of each seat has a 20-inch 3D display. Passengers can set a sound-insulated space between their own and neighbouring seats so that their speech cannot be heard by others.
The electricity needed is generated by solar panels on the aircraft’s surface. All materials are 100 per cent recyclable.
