Bottom line - KLM gets green
PR and likely some tax write-off for the suport, the profs get to publish and not perish, and some students get class credit for the cool promotional CGI work.
Well said,
pattern_is_full . Purely green window dressing for KLM and not one media outlet will ask some serious questions. The development and certification challenges for such a design will me enormous and in the current state of the industry I doubt if there is one manufacturer that is willing to spend millions and millions of €/$ on such an endeavour.
