Airbus is trying to design an aircraft to compete with Boeing?s new 787 Dreamliner. The Boeing Company?s 787 Dreamliners is a bleeding edge bird born of pure-efficiency; made and constructed in lightweight, high-tech composite materials. The Airbus?s version, a copycat plane only has wings of composite. Meaning it will weigh more and be less able to maintain any close resemblance of efficiency of the state-of-the-art Dreamliner, which has already sold nearly 300 in pre-orders.

We must help Airbus compete, otherwise they will fall further behind in utter disgrace. I propose we use the vibrational energy of the noissy and bumpy copycat Airbus bird to light up the landing lights and interior lights to help it become more efficient. By using the vibrational energy of the plane, air buffeting and jet engines it can be done, as that aircraft is sure to be quite a bumpy ride indeed. How so you ask?

By placing large 4? X 8? sandwich sheets molded to the interior of the plane with a taunt film onn the vibrational side and small copper lined tubes; hundreds of these tubes running perpendicular to the sheets, with magnets inside bouncing back and forth. These magnets will charge a capacitor and be hooked up to an LED lighting system using fiber optics or reflectors, each one hooked up to a .2 to .5 watt light. With hundreds of thousands of lights hooked up in a composite format it will light up the plane without the light pollution associated with interior airline lights that adversely effect airline passenger comfort.
