“Airbus is leveraging emerging technologies to pioneer the future of flight. By testing disruptive aircraft configurations, Airbus is able to evaluate their potential as viable future products,” said Jean-Brice Dumont, EVP Engineering Airbus. “Although there is no specific time line for entry-into-service, this technological demonstrator could be instrumental in bringing about change in commercial aircraft architectures for an environmentally sustainable future for the aviation industry.
While there has been some speculation over whether the blended wing aircraft would have real windows or virtual windows—with images projected from the outside—the concept rendering would suggest that real aircraft windows are still a possibility.Emirates and Collins Aerospace learned when designing the virtual windows
Managing motion sickness will be a central challenge for this wider aircraft design, with passengers on the side rows more likely to feel a pull as the aircraft turns. This could be compensated for by a seat structure that has some suspension mechanism or a design that nestles passengers in a way that compensates for the aircraft’s movement.Others in Europe seem to be of a mind on the eco-potential of blended wing aircraft and they have addressed some of these experiential challenges.
