Windowless Plane

Nancy Drew — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:45:44 GMT

Has anyone seen pictures of this plane where it looks like there are no windows? You are surrounded by the sky everywhere. It is the coolest thing. I would love to fly in this. It also makes the cabin look a lot prettier. Light and airy.

Yes I saw it as well. very interesting! Probably very good for someone who has a fear of flying, but maybe not so good for some-one claustrophobic!

Craziness isn't it! I'd love to fly in it too (I think).

you could not pay me to fly a regular plane. one that looks like i am suspended in air? that would be a big HE*LL NO! just looking at MJ's pic makes me feel faint!

I don't enjoy flying - it's a way of getting somewhere and as long as there is not too much turbulence or bad weather, I am OK. I wonder if this would make me airsick though?

Interesting looking plane. I don't think I'd try it. I'd be afraid of vertigo.

Take-offs and landings might be a little scary.

I'd prefer looking out the window at the real thing! I love looking out the window at the clouds and the ground features below. Some of the cloud formations are just incredible.

No thanks. I'll fly the old fashioned way. I can't even get on a Ferris wheel, so this is a definite no.

I wonder how it handles a sudden decompression? It's beautiful, but...

I love to fly, but I don't know if I'd like the windowless plane. I like to put down the window so I can watch movies on my Kindle. The glare would bother me. LOL

I do like looking out the little windows, but for some reason that pic gives me the creeps. I guess it looks like you could just fall out the side. I know that doesn't make sense.

I agree it's very cool looking, but I tend to be a bit claustrophobic. Not sure I could fly in a craft with no windows.

I think it's beautiful but I too prefer to look at the real thing out of real windows!!

Wait. It has no windows? I looked at the picture and thought is was floor to ceiling windows.

Then I'm changing my answer to No! Too claustrophobic.

I took it wrong too. I thought by looking at the pic. that it doesn't have traditional windows, but floor to celing windows.

My other post about not being able to see my kindle because of the glare doesn't make sense now. LOL

It looks so cool. I think it would be great. Question. Not being claustrophobic,i don't see why flying in this place would increase those feelings? The plane, it seems to me, would Give you an open feelIng, not as closed in. Anyway, I tHink it would be Fun and beautiful.

I'm not afraid of heights, but I am afraid of falling from heights. This plane would do me in. Bring on the airsickness bag.

I read it wrong too. There are no windows. Those are painted clouds. Or am I reading it wrong?

No, not painted clouds. It's a projection; they can make it anything they want it to be.

Which means, it's never going to be just clouds You just know they're going to use it as advertising space. It's going to be credit cards, and hamburgers, and holiday mattress sales.

I wouldn't like it. I already don't like how on some airlines (United) they insist that you put your window shades down so people can watch movies. I particularly hate this on daytime flights back from Europe when I'm wide awake and not interested in being trapped in a dark tube flying through the sky. That said, some of the newer Air Feance and KLM planes have cameras on the nose, tail, and underside of the plane that you can watch. I do find that I get a bit of vertigo when watching during takeoff.
