The company easyJet<\/a> asked travel experts a report outlining what travel might be like in 50 years' time, in 2070. <\/strong>This report entitled \"easyJet 2070: the travel report of the future<\/strong> was written by a group of leading academics and futurists, including Professor Birgitte Andersen of London's Birkbeck University and CEO of the Big Innovation Centre, design specialist and complex systems theorist Dr Melissa Sterry, renowned futurists Shivvy Jervis and Dr Patrick Dixon, Cranfield University's Director of Transport Systems, Professor Graham Braithwaite, and Nikhil Sachdeva, Director of Aerospace, Defence and Sustainable Aviation at consultancy Roland Berger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane adapts to the passenger and not the other way round...<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All segments of the travel industry will be transformed as a result of the introduction or development of the technology<\/a> - some of which already exist today. Starting, of course, with air travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the journey to the airport and the experience on board, experts believe that passengers will benefit from the following technological advances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Passports with cardiac and biometric signatures<\/strong> will replace traditional passports. They will provide additional security because, like fingerprints and retina scans, each person's heart signature is unique. Passengers' heart signatures and biometric data will be stored in a global system. They will enable an even simpler route to flying<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Ergonomic, bio-mimetic aircraft seats<\/strong> will become the norm. This will mean intelligent materials that adapt to the shape of the body<\/strong>The cabin is adapted to the size, weight and temperature of passengers, offering a more comfortable flying experience. On board, entertainment will no longer need video screens<\/strong>. They could be broadcast directly in front of passengers' eyes, using optoelectronic devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Vertical take-off air taxis (e-VTOL)<\/strong> could also replace journeys by land vehicle, speeding up the transfer from home to the terminal. Experts estimate that 85% of passengers would travel by e-VTOL in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
