Airbus looked ahead forty years and designed the perfect plane for its future customers.
The planes of the future will drop the idea of classes and replace it with zones for tech and relaxation. The relaxation zone will include biomorphing seats that monitor your vital signs and offer massage, acupuncture and other revitalizing techniques. The tech zone will also use biomorphing seats, but they will adapt to the shape of your body and use your body heat to power components like a personalised holographic display and, shockingly, the cabin lights.
Oh, did I tell you the plane itself will be translucent so you can see outside and experience a personal sense of freedom while you fly or scream in horror when you crash into the ocean. [Boing Boing, video from the Daily Telegraph]

Who is this crazy french man!
If it does take off (pardon the pun) it will be available to business/first class passengers only, the rest of us will be stuck with the same circa 1985 interior.
