MELFA, Va. and SAN JOSE, Ca. – A project that sounded like futuristic dreams just a few months ago is now starting to take shape. A3 by Airbus is pushing ahead with the development of its exchangeable aircraft modules that range from bars to children’s play areas. Based on the current plan, airlines would be able to switch out individual modules in less than an hour. The program’s progress has attracted a significant amount of news coverage, most recently on the Today show, where correspondent Jeff Rossen talked to A3’s project lead Jason Chua: Today Show – A3 Module.
As previously reported, Luminary built a number of components for the initial prototype, including the bar module and parts of the gym module. They can be seen in the video starting at 2:30.
