空客推出模块式客舱概念 水疗健身房随便加

    Airbus has revealed a radical design for future airplane cabins — swappable interiors that can be customized* to fit the needs of each flight.

    Called Transpose, the concept separates an airplane’s cylindrical body into sections, allowing each one to host a different layout.

    The firm envisions gyms, coffee shops, playgrounds and more first-class seats switching in and out of planes within a few years.

    “To create new passenger experience possibilities, we must first work to simplify the process of customizing aircraft cabins,” said Jason Chua, project executive at Airbus.

    Airlines usually change their cabins every 7-10 years due to the time-consuming* and rigorous* process. Even when the interior is updated, it is mostly conservative and incremental improvements.

    If Airbus is successful in this venture, Chua said it will “reduce the time it takes to customize an aircraft cabin by a factor of three, and take the speed of aircraft reconfiguration from weeks to hours, or even minutes.”

    When the plane reaches its final destination, staff can easily unload the separated modular interior and customize each section for the needs of the next flight.

    The idea is that there will not be a first-class, business-class or coach sections — it would be an open floor plan where each section houses a different experience for passengers.

    Turning this concept into a reality wouldn’t require Airbus to design an entirely new craft. The firm would use already existing freighter variants of large commercial aircraft, as the cabins are already empty, which would easily let the firm fill it with the swappable sections.(SD-Agencies)
