Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What do we know about the future?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.00,0:00:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Difficult question, simple answer: nothing.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.00,0:00:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We cannot predict the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.00,0:00:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We only can create a vision of the future, how it might be,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.00,0:00:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a vision which reveals disruptive ideas, which is inspiring,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.00,0:00:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is the most important reason
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.00,0:00:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which breaks the chains of common thinking.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.00,0:00:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are a lot of people
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.00,0:00:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who created their own vision about the future,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.00,0:00:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for instance, this vision here from the early 20th century.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.00,0:00:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It says here that this is the ocean plane of the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.00,0:00:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It takes only one and a half days to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.00,0:00:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today, we know that this future vision didn't come true.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.00,0:00:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is our largest airplane which we have,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.00,0:00:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Airbus A380, and it's quite huge,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.00,0:00:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so a lot of people fit in there
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.00,0:00:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's technically completely different
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.00,0:00:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than the vision I've shown to you.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.00,0:00:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm working in a team with Airbus,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.00,0:00:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we have created our vision
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.00,0:00:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about a more sustainable future of aviation.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.00,0:01:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So sustainability is quite important for us,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.00,0:01:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which should incorporate social
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.00,0:01:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but as well as environmental and economic values.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.00,0:01:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have created a very disruptive structure
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.00,0:01:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which mimics the design of bone, or a skeleton,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.00,0:01:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which occurs in nature.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.00,0:01:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's why it looks maybe a little bit weird,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.00,0:01:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially to the people who deal with structures in general.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.00,0:01:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But at least it's just a kind of artwork
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.00,0:01:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to explore our ideas about a different future.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.00,0:01:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What are the main customers of the future?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.00,0:01:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we have the old, we have the young,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.00,0:01:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have the uprising power of women,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.00,0:01:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there's one mega-trend which affects all of us.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.00,0:01:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These are the future anthropometrics.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.00,0:01:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So our children are getting larger, but at the same time
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.00,0:01:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are growing into different directions.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.00,0:01:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what we need is space inside the aircraft,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.00,0:01:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inside a very dense area.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.00,0:01:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These people have different needs.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.00,0:01:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we see a clear need of active health promotion,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.00,0:02:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially in the case of the old people.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.00,0:02:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We want to be treated as individuals.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.00,0:02:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We like to be productive throughout the entire travel chain,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.00,0:02:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what we are doing in the future is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.00,0:02:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we want to use the latest man-machine interface,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.00,0:02:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we want to integrate this and show this in one product.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.00,0:02:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we combined these needs with technology's themes.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.00,0:02:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So for instance, we are asking ourselves,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.00,0:02:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how can we create more light?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.00,0:02:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How can we bring more natural light into the airplane?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.00,0:02:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this airplane has no windows anymore, for example.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.00,0:02:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What about the data and communication software
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.00,0:02:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which we need in the future?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.00,0:02:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My belief is that the airplane of the future
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.00,0:02:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will get its own consciousness.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.00,0:02:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will be more like a living organism
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.00,0:02:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than just a collection of very complex technology.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.00,0:02:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This will be very different in the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.00,0:02:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will communicate directly
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.00,0:02:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the passenger in its environment.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.00,0:02:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we are talking also about materials,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.00,0:03:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,synthetic biology, for example.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.00,0:03:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And my belief is that we will get more and more
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.00,0:03:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,new materials which we can put into structure later on,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.00,0:03:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because structure is one of the key issues in aircraft design.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.00,0:03:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's compare the old world with the new world.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.00,0:03:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just want to show you here what we are doing today.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.00,0:03:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is a bracket of an A380 crew rest compartment.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.00,0:03:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It takes a lot of weight,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.00,0:03:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it follows the classical design rules.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.00,0:03:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This here is an equal bracket for the same purpose.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.00,0:03:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It follows the design of bone.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.00,0:03:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The design process is completely different.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.00,0:03:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At the one hand, we have 1.2 kilos,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.00,0:03:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and at the other hand 0.6 kilos.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.00,0:03:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this technology, 3D printing, and new design rules
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.00,0:03:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really help us to reduce the weight,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.00,0:03:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is the biggest issue in aircraft design,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.00,0:03:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's directly linked to greenhouse gas emissions.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.00,0:03:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Push this idea a little bit forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.00,0:03:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how does nature build its components and structures?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.00,0:03:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So nature is very clever. It puts all the information
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.00,0:04:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into these small building blocks, which we call DNA.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.00,0:04:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And nature builds large skeletons out of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.00,0:04:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we see a bottom-up approach here,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.00,0:04:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because all the information, as I said, are inside the DNA.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.00,0:04:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is combined with a top-down approach,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.00,0:04:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because what we are doing in our daily life
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.00,0:04:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is we train our muscles, we train our skeleton,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.00,0:04:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's getting stronger.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.00,0:04:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the same approach can be applied to technology as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.00,0:04:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So our building block is carbon nanotubes, for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.00,0:04:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to create a large, rivet-less skeleton at the end of the day.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.00,0:04:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How this looks in particular, you can show it here.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.00,0:04:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So imagine you have carbon nanotubes growing
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.00,0:04:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inside a 3D printer,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.00,0:04:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they are embedded inside a matrix of plastic,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.00,0:04:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and follow the forces which occur in your component.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.00,0:04:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you've got trillions of them.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.00,0:04:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you really align them to wood,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.00,0:04:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you take this wood and make morphological optimization,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.00,0:04:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you make structures, sub-structures,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.00,0:04:56.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which allows you to transmit electrical energy or data.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.00,0:04:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And now we take this material, combine this
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.00,0:04:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with a top-down approach,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.00,0:05:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and build bigger and bigger components.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.00,0:05:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how might the airplane of the future look?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.00,0:05:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have very different seats which adapt
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.00,0:05:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the shape of the future passenger,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.00,0:05:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the different anthropometrics.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.00,0:05:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have social areas inside the aircraft
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.00,0:05:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which might turn into a place
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.00,0:05:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where you can play virtual golf.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.00,0:05:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And finally, this bionic structure,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.00,0:05:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is covered by a transparent
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.00,0:05:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,biopolymer membrane, will really change radically
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.00,0:05:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how we look at aircrafts in the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.00,0:05:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So as Jason Silva said,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.00,0:05:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we can imagine it, why not make it so?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.00,0:05:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See you in the future. Thank you.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.00,0:05:41.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
