Airbus Planning Transparent Planes

Posted by Soulskill on from the or-should-i-just-punch-up-'clear' dept.

goG writes "European aircraft manufacturer Airbus has come up with the idea to build a passenger flight with a completely transparent fuselage. The central body of the aircraft will allow passengers to the see the stars above and city lights below. 'The planes of the future will offer an unparalleled, unobstructed view of the wonders of the five continents — where you will be able see the pyramids or the Eiffel Tower through the transparent floor of the aircraft,' Airbus said while unveiling the concept 'The Future By Airbus' earlier this year."

    If you want to see everything bellow, kick everything square in the nuts and it will bellow pretty loudly. If everything is a girl, punch it in the ovaries.

    This is offtopic, but if you can figure out how to edge the wall where it meets the ceiling, let me know. I don't have a problem with ladders, but I have a very large wall in my living room and I can't figure out to get up there to paint it without buying a super tall ladder.
