The Future by Airbus
At Airbus we believe that in the future more people should be able to share in the benefits of air travel; that a more connected world can also be a more sustainable world; and that the right combination of technology and talent – along with the right investment, support and cooperation – can make this happen. That’s the premise of our Future by Airbus programme – our vision of sustainable aviation in 2050.
With it we’re stretching our imagination to showcase some of the innovations in air travel that could take place by the middle of the century to meet evolving passenger trends and environmental demands. It includes looking at future solutions to cut flight time, fuel burn and emissions, and new energy sources to better protect and preserve the environment around us.
It is also about encouraging young people to learn how they can help shape that future – their future.
This is why Airbus is committed to investing in talent, through for example competitions such as Fly Your Ideas.
