Singapore airlines marks the end of the mile high club, with an on board double bed.
BMW's interior for a 350 includes this rather nice lighting scheme, except for the fact that there is a projected night sky, which could be a bit alarming if you woke up thinking you were outside.
Because Brits like to drink at all times, Virgin installed a pub in the Upper Class section of their 747 service.
Airbus have been building preposterous interior mockups of the A380, claiming it might have a gym, sauna, Tiki bar, tropical rain-forest etc.As this Seattle Post article points out, the equivalent for when the 747 was launched, was the infamous Tiger Lounge
The interior of the Hindenburg looks like it was designed by Walter Gropius. It has that look of pre-war modernism, which was destined to become an American style, as people like Gropius himself fled across the Atlantic.
Shock horror, while we are lined up like cattle on the way to an abattoir, this is what the cabin staff get on some airlines.
This is a very elegant idea to use the airspace above people’s heads in coach, to create two story pods where people can recline.
For all the hoo ha about the A380, the Dreamliner does seem to be the more subtly innovative plane, and the interior mockups look like it will have a unique feel.
You have to wonder whether the PR value of saying you are going to build a space vehicle, is worth the risk of not actually going forward with it. i.e. perhaps everyone is bluffing? Either way, none of these space tourism crafts are anywhere near being able to ever put anyone in orbit. They are more like throwing a stone up into the air, for it to experience weightlessness momentary, before it falls to earth again. You can already do this with the Vomit Comet.
Travel on board a Ford Tri-Motor must have been like sitting in a garden chair inside a garbage can, while someone shouted continuously in your ear.
Braniff air really had something going for them in the 70’s with famous designer uniforms, and interiors from Boogie Nights.
I can look at this photo for hours. Particularly the bottom right.
It is amazing to think that in the 21st century we can&#039;t travel as fast as we could in the 20th. <p /><p />I remember in the 80s my boss left the London office for a meeting in New York, and was back in the office that evening.
If you plan on going to the South Pole these days, you may be lucky enough to get a ride in a ridiculously huge C17, which has real passenger seats and a toilet (but no heating by the looks of it), unlike the other planes that fly to Antarctica, C-130s.
This is the interior of a plane circa 1919. It is exactly the same as when you lined up the dining room furniture as a child and played airplanes with a plunger for the joystick. Except that its 50,000 times more dangerous.
This 40 million dollar interior decoration of the Russian presidents plane looks more like Donald Trumps bathroom.<p /><p />It was used primarily by Boris Yeltsin
This is why we send people to art school. The concept here is to plant turn inside a plane and arrange beanbags randomly throughout the interior. Definitely not coming to you in the real world, very soon.
