Innovation or madness? Airbus wants to create a moving passenger cabin – TVN24 Business World
Airbus has patented a solution that can significantly reduce the boarding gate. Passengers still in the airport terminal would be composed of the cabin, which later like a Lego brick would be could be attached to the rest of the machine.

The high efficiency and concern for the environment. These two things hard to reconcile … see more »
Thanks to the patent passengers could enter, and actually be transferred on board the aircraft without having to go through the sleeve or using the bus, elevators and stairs.
Faster journey
The patent so much would decrease the waiting time for boarding and the same time the entire trip. The passengers took their places, and at that time the plane would be refueled and would extend the review.
Now that lasts for refueling, passengers must wait in the terminal or sit on the plane.
The solution proposed by Airbus this also great help for people with disabilities.
A two-tier seats
This is not the first such revolutionary solution proposed by the Group of European designers. Earlier, Airbus has developed the passenger cabin, which seats would be located on two levels.
According to the plans of patents submitted to the US Office of patented, the seats have been placed so that one passenger would sit above the other in alternating fashion.
This means that each of the sites will be able to have both seated position, and lying. The intention passengers do not bother each other, regardless of their position during the flight.

As in the cinema
On the other hand the summer of 2014 years, Airbus has announced that he wants to patent the folding seats, where passengers will accept a semi-sitting position. The company has claimed that for the time being there are no plans to introduce them to use, but can do so in the future.
For visualization of the project, we see that passengers are in a semi-sitting position, and the same “seats” like bicycle saddle and May folding armrests. When the world’s media began to ridicule the idea, and Brian Fung to “Washington Post” wrote that the devices are more like an instrument of torture than the equipment of the airplane, the manufacturer explained that it was just an idea. Authorities company also stressed that “semi-erect the seats” does not have to appear on scheduled aircraft. At least for now.
