Virgin launches glass-bottomed plane

By Richard Branson


I’m thrilled to announce that Virgin has created another world-first with the introduction of the technology required to produce the world’s first glass-bottomed plane. This technological innovation coincides with the start of Virgin Atlantic Airways’ first ever domestic service to Scotland.



In 1984 we started the wonderful airline that is Virgin Atlantic. I am incredibly proud of yet another aviation breakthrough which has been years in the making. I can’t wait to experience the first flight for myself with my family and other natural born explorers.



2012 was a year of celebrating what is brilliant about Great Britain and I’m excited that in 2013 we are continuing this uplifting spirit by developing an experience that will enable Little Red passengers to appreciate the beauty of the British landscape. And with an unrivalled view of Scotland I hope this gives Scottish tourism an even bigger boost.




We hope to trial the glass bottom technology with other Virgin airlines in time and have asked other Virgin companies to support this innovative trial and launch our new domestic Scottish route. This really is a team effort from all corners of Virgin

Naija ke??
One step at a time abeg
Are you trying to get us killed?

This one is scary o. Why not add a channel that will be showing the bottom of the plane rather than glass?.
In case of crash landing, won't the glass break? Think twice oo.

I think it is an April fool from Virgin Atlantic.

Don't try this back home

Edit: im guessing this is an April fools joke

LOOOOOOOOOOL

AFD.

And where would we put the luggage and the wing spar.

Not for me, will not add any pressure to my flight experience, it will even put some people off flying.

Vicjustice:
Then, how safe would it be if it's Nigerian made?
Would you dare to fly in an airplane of such design if it's "Naija production"?
Well, such design, irrespective.., could increase the rate if acrophobia (that's the fear of height)

True that.
