Despite having acrophobia, I would love this as it is one of the few joys left in flying.

However, I think many passengers would be opposed to this.

Just leave the barf bags alone. They’re going to need them!

Expecially those passengers in the suddenly transparent bathrooms.

While that technology is very cool sounding, it does not make the plane invisible.

Didn't Wonder Woman have a glass plane?

And how about the lavatories?

Not a new idea. Passengers will have to pay an additional tanning saloon tax. I like the uniform.

It's weird...I'm acrophobic if I'm connected to the ground like being on the observation deck of a tall building, stopped at the top of a Ferris wheel or riding in those sky-cars.

But if there's no connection to the ground, I have no problem. For example, I can look straight down from a helicopter with no vertigo whatsoever and I have no fear of flying.

” “Passengers in an airplane like this would experience flight in a completely new way,” Airbus’ head of research and technology, “

Most of us learned (often, the hard way) in junior-high-school that ‘neat ideas’ aren’t necessarily ‘good ideas’....

Each seat will have a built in AED.
