The Airplane of the Future May Not Have Windows
merbs writes: Hope you're not too attached to looking out the windows when you fly — the designers of tomorrow's airplanes seem intent on getting rid of them. A Paris design firm recently made waves when it released its concept for a sleek, solar paneled, windowless passenger jet. Before that, Airbus proposed eschewing windows and building its cabins out of transparent polymers. Now, the Center for Process Innovation has floated its own windowless plane concept, and it's attracting plenty of headlines, too.
How are we supposed to see the gremlins?
Of course news about a fake are Fake News.
..i think they will have to keep windows in the hatches. they'll now call the emergency exit rows "observation deck" and charge x2 for them.
thats what i call win-win :)
Airplanes are the only thing with Windows that don't crash (often).

People who were prune to motion sickness will be worse off without the windows since they are cut off from the last piece of sensory information that tells them that they are moving.
And that is why I refuse to use those new-fangled elevators without windows.
I like microcars

Bonus, hacking into the display system ...y.
Yes. The inside of airplane walls. Finally, an appropriate display for colonoscopy videos. Especially in coach.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
70 Virgins?
Holy crap, even the afterlife is cutting corners now. Used to be 72 just a few years ago. Maybe too many muslims died and they're rationing the remaining virgins?

Allahu ackbar! Peak global virgins is upon us!
Mod me down, my New Earth Global Warmingist friends!
