BMW Shows Airbus How to Light an Airplane Ceiling

Airbus has teamed up with BMW to create a tricked-out interior for its A350 jet that it will be showing at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2006 in Hamburg next month. Suckers for way-cool lighting, what really caught our eye was the ceiling treatment. Take a look at how it simulates the clouds in the sky on a moonlit night. BMW has also put together some fine-looking seats and a generally swank interior for this A350, even in steerage.

Don hold your breath for this to appear on US airlines, which will probably be coming out with a bare lightbulb and straw on the floor for its updated aircraft interior design.
