Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace are working on sleeping places in the cargo hold
Hamburg - The cargo hold could soon become a dormitory, at least in part. Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace are working on places where passengers can sleep in the lower deck of the A330 during long-haul flights from 2020 onwards. There is already a potential customer for the concept. (airlinerwatch.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think a gym/workout space is a great idea, sleeping on a plane is over rated (done the pod, love it but mostly I am awake), a little activity go back to your seat and then catch a few moments of shut eye, bring it on
These kind of human interest stories seem to come out every few months. Have seen similar adds from 50 years ago. Glamorous space, wasted and impractically expensive. They might jam more passengers in the hold, but not a playground with a slide for children.
Would you envisage the slide terminating inside or outside the fuselage?

I have been saying this needs to be done for YEARS now... heck, I'd take it any further. Instead of having sleeping places in the cargo hold, take a whole section in the economy class, take the seats out and put floor to ceiling bunks in. I don't need much room to sit up in - a couple two/three feet? If I had a plane that was targeted for overseas or long-haul travel I would much rather lounge around laying down for that time than try to figure out where to put my knees at.
747 and M.D.11 had crew Quarters like that
LOL. Why not include a swimming pool?
