Airbus has patented a passenger flying saucer
World this huge aircraft Airbus is preparing a revolution in the market of aircraft. In another call, the patent images filed by the company in the European patent office at the aerospace and defense group, it is impossible.
Judging by leaked to the network images, a new development of the Airbus is more like a flying saucer than a classic plane, and the location of passenger seats in the cabin, the analogy with the circus or an ancient amphitheatre.
In the comments of the engineers of the aircraft manufacturer behind this unusual development, said that this form of the aircraft allows to eliminate most of the operational and technical difficulties inherent to conventional aircraft, and significantly reduces the burden faced by the front and rear part of the aircraft. In the new design all the forces uniformly affect the entire body of the aircraft, greatly increasing its operational lifespan.
Confirm these findings and experts. Senior Manager, GE Aviation Chris Lawrence noted that the near perfect aerodynamics of the Airbus development will have a positive impact on its performance efficiency, which in the future will significantly increase the flight range transport aircraft.
In addition, less fuel consumption, coupled with the ability to use its bioanalogue, will make the aircraft of this type is absolutely safe for the environment, which in modern conditions is no less important than economic component.
At the same time in the structure of Airbus said that at the moment to talk about the prospects of serial appearance of the passenger of a flying saucer, not ready. Despite the patent documents currently in the company is passive stage study design, and only after her transition into the active phase it will be possible to talk about any specifics.
