In our season premiere of our new video series Next Level with senior technology editor Lauren Goode, we got the exclusive first look inside what multinational aviation company Airbus has been working on in its Silicon Valley labs: modular airplane cabins, ones that can be swapped out in less than an hour to give commercial flyers the experience of spas, gyms, and day care centers while they’re in flight.

This could never happen. Thr guy keeps on saying “just like thr cargo aircraft” But what your handling here right now is people he better stick to reslity
Not just customer density but also a lot of regulations will be broken.
Sorry this wouldn’t happen… it just doesn’t make sense… for safety reasons, for pricing reasons…
We’d like this for less money/same amount of money, it already cost an arm and and leg to fly normally squeezed in as close as nose hair length sooo we not paying for this 😂
It’ll never happen. Airlines do their best to cram as many seats into a plane and this is a huge waste of space. On top of this it appears to be a huge safety hazard firstly for the reason that airlines want you to always have your seatbelt on but this encourages you not to, then in an emergency accessiblity to life jackets, oxygen masks and emergency exits becomes difficult. It’ll never happen.
What if I was getting a massage then the plane crashes
Ermahgerd please make this NOWWWW!!
The seats look even more uncomfortable.
The seats don’t look that comfortable tho, it looks like it’s a very lightly padded seat without an ergonomic comfortable seat structure.
Even if all sections are module seats, would they rake them out to wash?
What about the Airbus 8380?
Anybody ever see Snowpiercer?
We dony wabt spas or cafes ir restruabts we just want a bit more leg room !!!
Modular doesn’t work count on it.
“What if you could pay extra on your next flight?” sums it up pretty well
Wont work.
They’re trying to cater to a wide variety of people in a small area.
Cool idea but it just wouldnt work.
Gym on a planes a bad idea.
Kids area would be a lot of space for a small amount of people.
The bed area seems like it would be the least comfortable place to be with the fact theres 5 strangers feet away from you, all asleep, anything could happen.
How would they decide on what pods to have in the plane?
A voting system?
Would people want to pay extra for facilities they wont use.
Is it fair to charge everyone the same amount even though some will use more facilities than others.
Would be better if they went the other way.
Make the flights cheaper.
Use the bed layout instead of seats.
You could probably fit more people in the same amount of space and make it more comfortable.
This design looks like Android irl. Not good.
This feels like something from Black Mirror.
FAA is only one… There are hundreds of countries to certificate the plane
Looks like they took a trip to IKEA
this qill never happen lol airlines would pacl thr planes full of people like sardines hahahhaa
This is awful.
I love the window
We really are in the future lads.
Flights are already expensive af, no thank you
Why are the moduled removable??? What is the point of that
please as if airline companies actually cared that much to do this
May I know the engineering work for that curve of cabinet…
its not very safe wandering around the plane and it wont be finanschially feasable at all
I think ist possible
The bunk setup is the only practical and desirable advance. Anything else that encourages having the great unwashed roaming around the aisles, bashing into the arms and shoulders of all the passengers seated on aisle seats is a fail. Imagine people having to get back to their seats during turbulence, or the cabin crew trying to do the meal service LOL
Well turbulence just don’t make any model flight at all enjoyable.…
We need this
Emergency Exits?
every penny matters, 1 cent discount will always sell more. 1 cent discount for and added 3 hour travel will sell more. discount for no water, coffee, seat screen, luggage. ryanair is one of the most successful air companies everybody loves to hate. scientists should use their brains for fuel efficiency on planes and cheaper plane maintenance.
people act like planes even last that long on air lmaooo
Notice that he likes too enter from the rear.
This would be great for private jets
Planes could fly like those 0 gravity ones from NY to Europe.…it would be fun and make more for your back than fancy expensive 1st class seats. Not to mention the turbulence that would be diminished.
Then covid-19 happened >.<
Inventan cualquier cosa y donde esta el avion que puede salvar a los pasajeros de la muerte en un accidente
Curious to know what happened to this idea 💡
We can also apply that to trains
What about a gaming area
I love it kinda
I’m from the future 5 years from now and we still don’t have this
Wouldn’t you say it is more like a train with different carriages than a cruise ship? I like this idea in principle, but I would imagine people constantly moving from section to section, possibly overcrowding one specific popular section, would work against the current recommendations of “stay in your seats with seat belts fastened when not going to the toilet”, and be somewhat irritating to passengers just wanting to sit on their seats. Emergency situations are of course an issue to be taken seriously as well. Every configuration would have to be somehow standardized so as to have emergency exits available and easily accessible basically in the same place. I’m sure they will at some point be able to balance safety and convenience in the configurations, as they keep doing these simulations.
Why not take this concept and apply them to passages trains
