‘Friend-lean’ flying: EADS and Altran discuss the airport of the future
An airport without queues, long walking distances or confusing structures, in which the required time between arrival at the airport and boarding the aircraft is only 10 minutes. EADS Innovation Works (IW), the corporate network of research centres of EADS, and Altran, an international advanced engineering and innovation consulting group, are jointly working on projects supporting the long-term evolution of the air transport industry. The goal of a recent study was to create revolutionary airport concepts.
