No money for a business class ticket and still have a flatbed on your flight to New York? TU Delft students have come up with the solution and have been nominated for the Crystal Cabin Award 2020<\/a> with it. In addition to the flatbeds, they also came up with chaises longues and a three-seater sofa that can be transformed into three sleeping places. The designs are part of the interior plans for the Flying-V project<\/a> by Professor Peter Vink of TU Delft<\/a>. The Crystal Cabin Award is the international prize for innovations in the field of aircraft cabins and passenger experience.<\/p>\n

The Flying-V is a design for a very energy-efficient type of aircraft for long distances and is a collaboration between the faculties of Industrial Design and Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft, and KLM. The aim of the design is to make aviation more sustainable.<\/p>\n
