Have you ever thought about how flights will be made in the future? The problems and delays we experience with flights today result in the plane taking more time than necessary, especially for short-haul flights. However, with the development of technology, it is foreseen that these and similar problems will disappear in the future.
Vacation destinations to try before you buy
Professor Birgitte Andersen said, “Just as you try on clothes in a store today or listen to music samples online before deciding to buy, customers will be able to explore and try out resorts in the online metaverse before they buy.”
A completely paperless, hassle-free journey
According to BioFuturist Dr. Melissa Sterry, "When you enter the airport, facial recognition software will note your arrival, identify you, match you with the flight you've booked, and send messages to your devices, such as a phone or smartwatch, to guide you."
Zero emission aircraft
At the beginning of the year, ZeroAvia successfully tested the world's largest hydrogen-electric engine-powered aircraft, an important step towards zero-emission commercial flights.
Some aspects of the journey sound like the distant future. For these, the report encourages readers to take their minds back to 1973, when “smartphones were the product of wildest dreams, 'Google' seemed like a made-up word, and it was still almost a decade before laptops were invented. “However, perhaps even more strikingly, we are already engaging with the technology that underpins some of the most futuristic experiences the report envisions.
