RE: The future of air transport: Airbus unveils concept airplane for 2030
no one has ever made a prediction of the future that was even close to what actually occurred or was technologically done.
some of us remember the GM fururistic city that was all the rage at he 1939 worlds fair. i do not believe that anything they projected actually came into being because the technology developed in WW II and later for the space program took a quantum leap past that available in the late 1930s.
their worst mistake was to picture the city of the future with few inhabitants. they never even considered the increase in the population, and what was shown was all white, not another race even existed in their future city. this would seem to be what the teaparty people mean when they say they want their country back or wanting the original constitution back, the one that allowed slavery and counted all others at 3/5 of a person.
