Meet the air craft of the future:
... [+]Imagine traveling in a plane which uses the cabin more efficiently, gives passengers more legroom and spaces them physically further apart. Think double-decker cabins where people sleep in bunks above seated passengers. Or two-tier rows of seating, some high and some low.
Whilst one aspect of new designs focused on keeping planes more sanitary using state-of-the-art cleaning wands and covering surfaces in antimicrobial coatings, the other aspect focused on new ways to use an aircraft’s space. Alejandro Núñez Vicente, a 21-year-old Spanish student designed the concept after traveling across Europe.that he was fed up with a lack of legroom in planes and realised that elevating every other row to make a dual-level cabin would solve the issue. It means getting rid of the overhead lockers but luggage could be stored under seats instead and he believes the idea would work in medium to large aircraft, such as the Airbus 330 or the Boeing 747.
The idea would be for some economy passengers to buy the Cloud Capsule option above their seat as an add-on when they purchase their tickets. The capsule would allow for more privacy in crowded economy cabins and could also regulate its own heating.Another entry, the Economy Sky Dream from ADSE reminded judges of inter-rail travel on long-distance trains, providing space for people to sleep in loft bunks, with luggage stored under the seats.
