Airbus’ future plane generates energy from passenger heat

Like everything else, airplanes in the future too will go through a paradigm shift when it comes to design and functioning. Airbus has been dreaming big lately and has already showed off plans for what it seems will be the best way to fly in the year 2050. The airplane-maker’s designs compromise a see-through plane, using a fuselage made almost completely transparent, allowing for some pretty jaw dropping panoramic views of the heavens above and beyond. But that’s not all. Airbus has also put a thought into just how this plane will power up and will use a pretty ingenious energy-generation tactic, using energy generated by the passengers themselves! The seats of this one are so designed to suck the heat from passengers to power up.

For now, everything we’ve got here is a figment of Airbus’ imagination, which we hope, turns into a reality, changing the way we fly forever.
