This Windowless Plane Concept Would Let Passengers See World Around Them

UK-based tech innovation company Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is set to revolutionize the future of air travel with a windowless aircraft. The plane will have high-definition, flexible screens that project the outside scenery onto the inner walls, as it soars through the air.

The projected scenery would come from mounted cameras attached to the plane’s exterior that the developers say could offer an unobstructed panoramic view, meaning no visible wings or engines.

The plane has no actual windows in the plane’s passenger section; the displays create the illusion that the cabin walls are transparent.

Passengers can adjust the settings and use the displays for in-flight services, the company said.

The plane would use OLED screens (a high-end, thin-film display technology) with protective coatings made to preserve the displays for its lifetime.

According to the company, the plane walls would be thinner which means lightweight planes could lead to less costly flights for consumers as they use less fuel than commercial planes and also produce less CO2 emissions, meaning they are better for the environment.
