Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Are windowless planes the future of travel?
What do you enjoy the most during a long flight? Meals, movies, games or reading? There are flights that last over ten or even 15 hours. Though windows are usually closed during those long flights, it is always a pleasure or relief to see outside through the window time to time even if you’re sitting in a first-class seat. But Dubai-based airline Emirates, one of the most popular long-haul flight operators, has come up with an exclusive first-class suit that features virtual windows. The passengers can still see real-time virtual views of the outside world through window-like monitors. What are the benefits of removing real windows from the cabin? Why do passengers pay a premium for non-real views?
There are also other ideas for future airplanes and aerial vehicles, either manned or unmanned, or powered either by conventional engines or an electric motor.
Which makes you more comfortable or nervous to fly, a windowless airplane or a pilotless drone?
Enjoy reading the article and see the images of futuristic flying vehicle designs.
