In addition to live views of the surrounding skyscape and colorful sunsets, the Infinito ceiling can be converted to project images of a starry night sky, allowing passengers to sleep under the stars without risking a loss of cabin pressure. Interactive maps and other content can also be projected onto the ceiling using the Infinito technology, according to Airbus at the plane’s unveiling in Geneva, as part of the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition. The plane’s “virtual sky” is joined by a cinema room for home theater-like film viewing, a dining area, bar, and a spacious double bedroom. Almost everything inside is decked out in cream and tan leather, inspired by luxury sports car interiors, a connection made explicit in a statement from Airbus’ managing director Benoit Defforge: A standard Airbus A319neo, without this new Infinito interior, will set you back $99.5 million, so an extra five hundred grand for it is really a no-brainer. It seats eight people in… well, “comfort” doesn’t seem like a strong enough word for such accommodations, and it can travel as many as 7,800 miles non-stop. Details on when the plane will be available for flying are still to come.
