“…There are multiple approaches to maximizing cabin space; however, it is essential to weigh the balance between passenger comfort and space utilization in the design process [30]. With a market analysis, the current state of the art in cabin layout can be analyzed as well as new concepts, such as a windowless fuselage [31].…”

Over the past few years, the rapid growth of air traffic and the associated increase in emissions have created a need for sustainable aviation. Motivated by these challenges, this paper explores how a 50-passenger regional aircraft can be hybridized to fly with the lowest possible emissions in 2040. In particular, the use of liquid hydrogen in this aircraft is an innovative power source that promises to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions to zero. Combined with a fuel-cell system, the energy obtained from the liquid hydrogen can be used efficiently. To realize a feasible concept in the near future considering the aspects of performance and security, the system must be hybridized. In terms of maximized aircraft sustainability, this paper analyses the flight phases and ground phases, resulting in an aircraft design with a significant reduction in operating costs. Promising technologies, such as a wingtip propeller and electric green taxiing, are discussed in this paper, and their potential impacts on the future of aviation are highlighted. In essence, the hybridization of regional aircraft is promising and feasible by 2040; however, more research is needed in the areas of fuel-cell technology, thermal management and hydrogen production and storage.

With the popularization of intelligent cars, users' understanding of the value of cars gradually changes from a travel tool to a ''third living space'', and cabin comfort is becoming a criterion for evaluating the goodness of cars. In this paper, we start from the physical environment and human-computer interaction environment that affect the comfort of the intelligent cockpit of a car and establish a comprehensive comfort evaluation model of the intelligent cockpit of a car based on the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm in machine learning by conducting experiments on the comfort evaluation of the intelligent cockpit of a car and compare it with several classical machine learning algorithms. The mean square error (MSE) of the model based on the SVM algorithm is 0.00096, and the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) reaches 0.966, which is better than several other algorithms. The results show that the established evaluation model has good generalization ability and can evaluate the comprehensive comfort of the intelligent cockpit of the car, thus helping the cockpit to make timely and accurate comfort adjustments to ensure the occupant's riding experience. This project provides a reference direction for the comprehensive evaluation of cockpit comfort, which is of great significance for the future development of intelligent cockpit comfort. In addition, the comfort model can be applied to a variety of comfort evaluation scenarios, which has great practical value.

“…Many people associate aircraft cabin interior design with their comfort. Comfort is simply defined as "a pleasant state of physiological, psychological, and physical harmony between a human person and their surroundings, as well as a sense of subjective well-being" (Wang et al,2021). Before beginning the design process, it is vital to determine which interior components are crucial to the comfort of passengers.…”

Passengers are paying more attention to their comfort during flights. The passengers' choice of an airline depends on several factors including price, safety, loyalty programs, quality of service, inflight entertainment, and baggage handling. Another key factor influencing their choice of airline is their level of satisfaction and sense of comfort in the aircraft cabin, which is the main focus of the current study. Many factors of the entire cabin system, including the cabin environment, facilities, services, and psychological variables of passengers, all have an impact on their comfort. Airlines are increasingly focusing on comfort to differentiate themselves by developing the aircraft cabin interior to enhance passenger comfort and obtain a competitive advantage in highly competitive markets. The emergence of smart aircraft cabins provided smart solutions to all discomfort issues that negatively influenced passenger experience during flight. The smart plane of the future has the potential to smooth cabin operation and improve the customer experience in numerous ways such as smart overhead compartments, futuristic smart seats, smart dimmable windows, smart services, and Zero-Touch entertainment screens with 4k clarity. The current study aims to evaluate passenger satisfaction with the current aircraft cabin interior in EgyptAir and investigate factors that influence passenger discomfort in the aircraft cabin. Furthermore, to explore how passengers perceive the "smart cabin" in addressing their discomfort issues as well as its influence on enhancing their comfort during the flight. To meet the study goals, an online survey was distributed among Egyptian frequent travelers on EgyptAir. A total of 311 valid questionnaire forms were collected and analyzed. The results indicate that passengers are satisfied with the current aircraft cabin in EgyptAir; however, they reported some discomfort issues that influence their convenience during flights. Moreover, the majority of passengers showed their interest in using the "smart cabin" and its impact on enhancing their sense of comfort.
