Windowless Cabin with Spectacular View of the Skies

Knowing our next air trip is going to be windowless might sound claustrophobic to many, but it serves another purpose altogether. These special planes seem to have replaced tiny, traditional windows with OLED screens that would surround the passengers to give them the panaromic view in real-time outside the plane. Imagine, watching yourself flying past the clouds, while strapped to your seats, and fancy lounging while getting constant views of the sky through full-length screens.

Now, for the aeroacrophobics, those who fear high open places, fear not. These digital wallpapers include interactive touch technology which enables you to switch off and on the view according to your preference. It also enables the passenger to personalize the environment by providing options to adjust the lighting and view, and change the ambience. The high-definition screen also acts as a multimedia device for inflight entertainment.

Well, the technology is still in experimental phase and has a very high chance of success. Once, they have rolled out such planes, it would help airlines save big time on fuel since these screens are lighter in weight and reduce the overall weight of the plane. What fun! Better view, lesser costs incurred over fuel, which means lesser CO2 emission. Yay! Finally, we would be able to fly with lesser carbon footprint.

About - People professionally know me as a copy editor, correspondent and a writer, but writing is something I do even when I am not professionally engaged. I like to visit new places, explore, experience different cultures and share my perspective through words. Writing for food, travel and books is something that comes naturally, and is close to my heart.
