TED: Bastian Schaefer: A 3D-printed jumbo jet? - Bastian Schaefer (2013)




TED Talks Daily (SD video) show

Summary: Designer Bastian Schaefer shows off a speculative design for the future of jet planes, with a skeleton inspired by strong, flexible, natural forms and by the needs of the world's, ahem, growing population. Imagine an airplane that's full of light and space -- and built up from generative parts in a 3D printer.
