The Center for Process Innovation, a British technology research company, thinks they’ve got the next big step in aviation transportation figured out. They want to remove the windows from passenger planes and replace them with OLED touch-screens that extend along the plane’s entire length and display the view from outside through cameras mounted on the plane’s exterior.

whatever - I don’t think I will ever fly again because the groping gov’t will never ease up on violating my 4th amendment rights. If I can’t drive there, I’m not going.
I don’t think I could either. I like being able to close the shade on the window from time to time. A panoramic view of the sky and clouds would surely make me panicked. I’d have to be knocked out to get on an aircraft like that.
I would love to have a camera mounted in the nose that displayed on the entertainment system mounted on the seat-back in front of me. That would be cool, and would make me much more comfortable on the flight.
Imagine 4 phobias at once:
1. Flying
2. Heights
3. Enclosed places
4. Open places
The emergency door is the 3rd cloud on your left.
It’s still gonna take years to discover the dynamics of its matrix.
When the plane ride is rough, will they create a fake sky or show all the clouds and lightning?
Imagine 4 phobias at once:
1. Flying
2. Heights
3. Enclosed places
4. Open places
5. A clown in the next seat.
It would be interesting in thunderstorms.
Because everyone wants to be up above the clouds getting full sunlight and raditation.
“Advertisements. It will be advertisements.”
Bingo.
Cable television started that way: “Buy cable and get rid of commercials”.
This will be, “Fly our airline and see beautiful views.”
I few back from Vietnam in a windowless airplane. It was night, so I didn't really miss the view.
China Airlines does have that. They turn it on during takeoff and landing. They might have it on during the flight, but since I always fly it at night, it would just be a black screen.
If you remove the windows, I won’t be able to see the demon ripping away the engine cowl on the wing!
Technically, it’s not windowless.
It is a window.
The only thing I wouldn’t like about it is that I get to see how close to the ground we’d be as we crash.
It’d be cool to see the storm, if in the middle of one.
If they want to impress me they will have sounproof bubbles for screaming children and kick proof seats.
> Advertisements. It will be advertisements
Unfortunately I think you are right on this one. If the Left has their way they will use technology to create the dystopian sci-fi world they envision. Only when an IRSobot knocks on their door and says, “pay your credits due by swiping your palm across the scanner from IRS year 2032 or punishment as specified in Section 187.a of the U.S. ACA of 2010 will be rendered effective immediately. Thank you for your cooperation, Citizen Kane. Have a nice day” will they have second thoughts as to their own idiocy.
You can’t see sh-t up there in the clouds and prior to reaching the clouds and after defending from the clouds, I usually have to pull down the shade to keep the sun from burning my retinas.
Imagine being in a windowless plane. It comes in for a survivable crash landing, and all the monitors and lights go out. There you are in a pitch black tube, with a hundred panicked passengers. No thanks.
Since you brought up the idea of a survivable crash . . .
When planes land the flight crew insists that you raise the window shades. The reason given is so that in the event of crash crews on the outside can evaluate the state of the interior. That “feature” goes away if there are no windows.
I should amend my comment.
To get home from Vietnam, I WOULD get on a windowless plane.
