Boeing offers a glimpse of air travel 30 years from now

What kind of planes will we ride in 30 years from now? While Airbus not too long ago offered a wild vision
full of holographic projections and morphing seats, Boeing is keeping
it real after an 18-month-long study on the future of air travel.













So, what can we look forward to? Well, quieter, more efficient planes
that don't take as long to take off, according to Boeing. The company
is calling the hypothetical plane the "SUGAR Volt," which, according to
Boeing, "which includes an electric battery gas turbine hybrid
propulsion system." That'll have the aircraft burning up to 70% less
fuel, which would mean cheaper energy costs overall. Electronic systems
will also be improved, and airplanes will use half the power for their
electronics as they do now.

Here it is straight from Boeing:

"…one concept
known as SUGAR Volt - which includes an electric battery gas turbine
hybrid propulsion system - can reduce fuel burn by more than 70 percent
and total energy use by 55 percent. This fuel burn reduction and the
"greening" of the electrical power grid can greatly reduce emissions of
life cycle carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Hybrid electric propulsion
also has the potential to shorten takeoff distance and reduce noise."

So, airlines, this means cheaper tickets, too, right? Guys? Guys?
