Some people are absolutely terrified of flying in planes, which is understanble. Thousands of feet up in a tin can and you have absolutely no control over it. If something goes wrong, well... that's most likely the end of that.
The fact that so many people have a phobia makes this concept plane from Airbus even more intriguing. Just before the Paris airshow 'Le Bourget' Airbus invited passengers of 2050 to discover their concept cabin.
The aircraft’s bionic structure mimics the efficiency of bird bone which is optimised to provide strength where needed, and allows for an intelligent cabin wall membrane which controls air temperature and can become transparent to give passengers open panoramic views.
The cavin includes areas for activities such as virtual golf and interactive conferences. The concept cabin will be 100% recyclable. It will have self-cleaning materials made from sustainable plant fibres which reduce waste and maintenance and will harvest passenger body heat to power cabin features.

airbus plane concept crazy
WOW! I woudl really like to fly in that, but the question is, how much? :/
That looks really cool and all, but I wonder if they will really go through with it.
Thatd be awesome. I wish I had one haha
Awesome next level transportation!
That would freak me out.
That looks totally sweet! Would be great to watch the clouds go by.
Aw man that is cool, I wanna go hah
I wonder how scary it would be to some to be flying around thunderstorms.
I would REALLY like to fly in that, although I would probably pass out, lol.
very cool, I too would definitely fly in that
So has this already been built?
Or is in the process of being built?
Or is it just an idea
WOAH, that super cool
That is wat my house will look like when I am rich!
Got a link for these?
Most Cross-Country Passenger Trains have a Viewing Car which does have a glass dome you can sit up in, and it IS an amazing experience. I would really love to see something like this for at least joyride airplanes and/or whatever ones they make for sub-orbital/space tourism. It wouldn't be too different from how small civilian helicopters have one big open glass sphere for a nose. I guess I can see it working...
It's just a concept right now.
Would scare the crap out of me, but let alone it's super interesting, great stuff!
So epic. I'd pay good money to fly in that cabin!
That looks awesome. I'd love to fly in that thing!
