Finnair A600-850

A zero-emission aircraft, designed for shorthaul routes – takes off along a runway or vertically. The electricity needed in the vessel is generated by solar panels on the vessel’s outer surface. All materials are 100 per cent recyclable.

Under the aircraft are four large, turning engines and behind four smaller engines. The engines under the aircraft can be turned horizontally by 26 degrees and vertically by 55 degrees. The turning stabilises control at lower flight speeds. In vertical take-off, the engines are turned into a vertical orientation and the four smaller engines push out from the aircraft’s rear section.

Approximately half of the vessel’s 600 to 850 passenger places are in one- to four-person cabins, which have internet and satellite links. The cabins have either real windows or are equipped with audio-visual windows that offer views of the surrounding sky or downwards to the ground. The AV windows also act as display terminals and receivers, on which passengers can watch television transmissions or even follow shows held in the vessel’s restaurant.
