Airbus Future Flights Will Be Printed in 3D. Patience Till 2050.

3D printing has been around for a while now, but it's yet to be fully made use of. An airbus designer believes that in the coming 40 years, this very 3D printing will be accomplished enough to print out a concept plane from a hanger-sized 3D printer. Bastin Schafer has been toiling over a concept plane design for the past two years with his fellow Airbus designers, and believes that this thought is very much workable using an '80 by 80 meters' 3D printer (many times huge compared to the presently available 3D printer).

Schafer is quite convinced that 3D printing will result in substantial cost savings, and also produce 65 percent lighter parts as compared to traditional manufacturing methods. The concept plane shall also boast of scores of new technologies- like Last year we told you about,Â #-Link-Snipped-#Â a transparent wall membrane and an entirely recyclable cabin, and also the 'morphing' seats that harvests passengers' body heat.

And now in the approach to Farnborough International Air show (UK), Airbus has revealed what passengers want from the future of flight: more sustainable; less stressful; and more of it, despite social media revolutionizing how we keep in touch. Take a look in the following videoÂ -
