The exhibition is part of how British Airways is celebrating their centennial this year - from their first Parisian flight in 1919 - acting as a way to envision what the next 100 years will entail.

According to the event press release from British Airways, the exhibition “seeks to push the boundaries of imagination and explore how future generations will circumnavigate the globe in a world of advanced jet propulsion, hyper-personalisation, automation, AI, modular transport, sustainability, health and entertainment.”

Running from August 1st to the 26th in London’s iconic Saatchi Gallery, the exhibition will allow people to rediscover the wonder of flight through a physical display of works. Accompanying those works will be a top tier VR experience, put together by multiple award-winning VR creators and an Oscar-winning practical effects team.

According to Dr. Ashley Hall, Professor of Design Innovation in the School of Design at the Royal College of Art:

“BA 2119: Flight of the Future exhibition brings together some of the Royal College of Art’s brightest minds across a range of nationalities and creative disciplines, including Intelligent Mobility, Textiles and Innovation Engineering Design, with aviation experts to explore the future of flying.”

Forbes, Esquire and a host of other media have already picked up the event, so it’s clear that buried within public perception, there is still a sparkle of wonder at what aviation and flight represent.
