Announced model of the future Airbus aircraft (3 photos + video)


The world's leading airlines are constantly developingand demonstrate the latest aircraft models of the future, setting new standards and identifying the most promising areas for the development of aircraft construction. The European manufacturer Airbus for the first time demonstrated the Maveric model in the air in the summer of 2019, and already at the February air show in Singapore, presented the layout of the aircraft of the future for a general review. The main design features of the prototype aircraft of the future will be the shape of the body with a mixed wing, allowing you to change the usual placement of engines.


At the Singapore exhibition was presenteda model whose length reached 2 meters, a width of 3.2 meters, and a surface area of ​​2.25 square meters. Using a mixed wing-housing allows you to place the engines in the rear of the aircraft, create a fundamentally new cockpit format and solve many other issues.

As a result, among the first obvious benefitsUsing the new configuration, the developers note a 20% reduction in fuel consumption, as well as a decrease in cabin noise due to the transfer of engines to the rear of the aircraft.


There are currently no specific plans.development of a new model and the sample presented at the exhibition demonstrates only the conceptual direction in which aircraft construction is likely to go in the future.


Among offers from Airbus engineers for morethe replacement of portholes with displays showing both flight information and general information, as well as individual content for passengers, will also become a spacious cabin.
