Windowless Planes Could Take To The Skies In 10 Years by Dramadiddy(m): 12:59pm On Oct 28, 2014
This is what the future of aviation could look like – windowless planes.

The concept design is the work of the Teesside-based Centre for Process
Innovation (CPI).
The Guardian reported that it would see the windows replaced with full-length
OLED screens displaying panoramic views captured by cameras mounted on the
plane’s exterior, as well as providing in-flight entertainment and internet
access.

Removing the windows from the aircraft would reduce its weight and therefore
the cost for the passenger and airline, the firm said.
In a video uploaded to YouTube on 15 October, the CPI said over 3 billion people
fly around the world every year, using 220,000 gallons of fuel and producing
over 705 million tonnes of CO2. Dr Jon Helliwell of the CPI was quoted by The Guardian as saying: “We had
been speaking to people in aerospace and we understood that there was this
need to take weight out of aircraft.”
"Follow the logical thought through. Let’s take all the windows out – that’s
what they do in cargo aircraft – what are the passengers going to do? If
you think about it, it’s only really the people that are sitting next to windows
that will suffer." Helliwell said windowless planes could become a reality in 10 years.
“We are talking about it now because it matches the kind of development
timelines that they have in the aerospace industry,” he added.
