KLM and TU Delft join forces to revolutionize aviation

The company and educational institution have made up their minds to collaborate to create something state-of-art in the sphere of aviation. KLM and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have decided to work together to create something revolutionary, a completely new concept.

They are going to revolutionize a “V” shape plane. There is a passenger cabin, cargo hold and tanks for fuels in the wings.

Thus, the new shape of the plane gives new possibilities in terms of interior and other conveniences. The idea of serving meal from a buffet is on the point of being realized.

Moreover, the shape allows to use less fuel, saving up to 20%. And it is in comparison with the latest fuel saving plane, the Airbus A350. KLM is going to present their revolutionary plane at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in October. It will be KLM’s 100th anniversary.

Notwithstanding the shape wigs have the same span so it will not be a problem to fit into the existing gates and runways at airports. It has about 314 seats.

For KLM it is a very serious thing to move with the times. So, they consider their collaboration with TU Delft very important and productive. The plane is expected to be used for long distances. That is why passengers’ comfort is of top priority starting from seats and up to its lightest weight.

They teamed up to design energy efficient plane and to meet passengers’ need and demands.
