Just start making planes out of transparent aluminum.

That is all about a stupid idea and making money. We want to see out of our windows you idiots. The next thing you know there will be World of Warcraft on the screen during the flights if the idea takes hold. Some silver spoon fed kid who was happy being given participation ribbons on field and track day thinks he can make a bazillion bucks and join the likes of Zuckerberg or the Twinker gang...

I doubt I will ever fly again anyway, but I don’t see the point of this.

Like the website. I can see boredpanda being very popular.

I think a glass bottom plane would suffice.

I would never get on a windowless plane. Never. Never. Never.

It is a aircraft design idea certainly worth considering.
A windowless aircraft would boost the structural rigidity of the airplane.
It might simultaneously also make it lighter, faster, more fuel efficient, and stronger.
The kicker? High-resolution cameras might provide a better outward view than current window placement allows.

This will not be nearly as cool as it looks in the artist’s rendering.

Think about it for a second. If each point in the panel displays what is directly perpendicular to that point on the outside of the plane, it would not make spacial sense to an observer in the plane, who would see the normal view in the panel right next to him, but would see a forshortened view of the panels in front of and behind him. So it would not look like he was flying in a glass tube, as shown here.

The alternative is a panoramic view, taken from the center of the fuselage. This would look right when seen from the center of the aircraft, but would be distorted when viewed from any other point. To a person sitting in the tenth row, the view at the end of his row would be a compressed view out the front of the aircraft, which would have no relation to what is actually outside. Having the view not match up with the actual aircraft movements would almost certainly induce nausea.

If SST’s become viable again, then we will see a windowless plane, if only for weight-saving and better thermal stability of airplane structure reasons.

Well, as long as the pilots get to keep the cockpit windows.

I am sure people would prefer investment in more leg room that this.

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.

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.

When the plane ride is rough, will they create a fake sky or show all the clouds and lightning?

It would be interesting in thunderstorms.

Because everyone wants to be up above the clouds getting full sunlight and raditation.

If you remove the windows, I won’t be able to see the demon ripping away the engine cowl on the wing!
