As we move into the second decade of this century we see more people than ever travelling on the world's
passenger jet fleet, and both Boeing and the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus are active in designing new concepts for a bigger slice of airline aircraft demand.
Boeing supersonic transport
Enter the ramjet, air breathing technology that can propel an airliner to 4 times the speed of sound is being incorporated in new designs that will get you across the world five times faster than before, and if you pass the international date line you will arrive at your destination before you started - technically speaking.
Futuristic airliner
Airlines are now catering for passenger comfort as never before and new innovative ideas have resulted in a host of electronic devices that can virtually put the boardroom in your lap, serve the net, get you on face book, and let you recline in comfort if you so desire.
The shape of things to come
By 2020 we will see new aircraft that will be vastly different from those we see today, concepts using new high strength lightweight composite materials will be firmly established, power units will run on bio-fuels and the next generation air traffic control system will be in place to make your journey hassle free, with highly organized airport procedures and greater safety..
