In 10 Years, Windowless Planes Will Give Passengers A Panoramic View Of The Sky
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.
According to them, windows are one of the greatest sources of unnecessary weight in passenger planes. Solid walls are stronger and allow the walls to be built thinner as well. The OLED screens that replace the windows would display the view outside and allow passengers to select entertainment and stewardess service.
The technology does have its detractors, however – some are concerned about light pollution inside the cabin, and the panoramic view probably won’t do much to help those who are afraid of flying.

OLED screens along the plane’s length will show passengers the world outside
These touchscreens will show passengers information about their flight and let them order stewardess service
The screens will also enable internet and media access
CPI claims that the removal of all passenger windows will allow planes to be made with thinner, lighter and stronger walls

I was thinking I would feel more claustrophobic without an actual window, knowing that is fake. YUCK.
Load More Replies...Nice promo video and I would love to experience a 'windowless' flight, but reducing cost for the customer,...my a*s! That just won't happen.
Do you really think that in 10 years we'll still use earphones like those? i guess they will be wireless at least.
Imagine a cyberattack on (just) the screens :D :D I´d love to be there!
What's hard to believe, the wider seats and more leg room.. The full panoramic view will be cool, unless your going through a nasty storm
Last picture shows trees outside, if a plane ends up near the woods I certainly don't want to have windows all around :)
I'd just like more space between the seats so the guy in front of me isn't practically in my lap. Cheaper? Ha! In 10 years? Doubt it.
No, I loathe the idea. Though I'd not be able to do anything I always want a window seat by the wings and look outside as much as I can.
You always want a window seat, well now you could have any seat cause the entire plane is a window!

The big screen is the worst thing you can do in the close space like airplane. Constant influence from the screen near you and fake view.
Should be a tint option on windows sun can be overpowering and sun burn people due to high elevation
What are they gonna during the turbulence? Shake the screen? Maybe there could be a solution by counteracting?
Sadly I doubt this will be developed in the next 10 years, but if it is, unique idea for some people...
Already plane panels are falling off from inside, this will be a good kill!!!
In case of emergency this will be very dangerous! With no windows how can you know where you are??
It would break all the time and the no frills mob would turn it off anyway.
I think this is another move by apple to get rid of windows. "Better design"
im airliner this video is odd if i may say ......isaw pssengers scare of the idea of flying but if they saw this promo no salary no more
I will vomit immediately, when the plane will be up on the sky! This will solve my fear of heights?
Why go to the extreme? The idea is great but perhaps build the OLED screen in a way smaller scale. Then youll have the best solution on both
I will bet any amount of money that you are dumb and wasting your time for believing this.
The invisible wall computer and devices, I had thought about them early this year.
The last picture shows trees outside, if a plane ends up near the woods I certainly don't want to have windows all around during a crash :).
I don't like sitting near window. If it reduces costs and gives more sitting room I would give it a go.
No thanks. Perhaps streaming to the in flight screen in the rear of the seats.
3.1 billion passengers getting flying around the world on 220 thousand gallons of fuel! that is some epic fuel mileage! Some one goofed.
no windows on the plane?!!! I would feel very chlaustrophobic indeed, despite the view! BIG NO THANK YOU!
Definitely no facts in this video; all dreams! Dreams aren't convincing -_-
if it's a next generation flight why is that little f**k still using cable earphone?
i think its really really gona work and awsome cool i too want to fly in that plane ...........and excuse me its not a bull s**t ...........
What is the grounds for this claim? do you have intimate knowledge of their technology?
