Striking concept

摘要

HYBRID AIR Vehicles (HAV) has released striking concept images of the cabin design for its Airlander 10 aircraft, with floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise natural light and every passenger having direct aisle access.George Land, HAV's commercial business development director, said: "For many decades flying from A to B has meant sitting in a metal tube with tiny windows - a necessity but not always a pleasure."On Airlander, the whole experience is pleasant, even enjoyable."An HAV statement said: "Although these are concept designs, the team has been guided by engineering and regulatory demands. The cabin design has incorporated many considerations to ensure it is practical, feasible, and ready for the transition into production." Airlander will be available with up to 100 seats in a hybrid-electric configuration from 2025. HAV says it will release 90% fewer emissions than conventional aircraft in similar roles and will be offered in a fully electric configuration by 2030.
