The image may be terrifying for anyone who has panic of flying: imagine a flight of eight hours in the chair where he sits seems to glide in a sea of clouds. The interior of the aircraft shown in real time, the weather conditions from the outside, whether a bright sun or a severe storm. Instead of windows, high-definition screens lining the fuselage, to continuously show passengers traveling to altitude and each change of direction of the aircraft. It would be like traveling in a transparent plane.
It is not fiction: a group of British researchers want to remove the aircraft windows, replacing them with highly sophisticated screens placed inside the fuselage, through strategically placed cameras, show the outside. Bonus: these screens, you could surf the Internet and check e-mail.
The project can become a reality in commercial aviation in just over a decade, writes the daily The Guardian. These ultrathin screens, which would transmit images of the outside world, the passenger could choose the perspective of their choice and to identify sites that were flying over with a simple touch on this kind of giant television screen.
The innovation would waive the windows of the plane. And that is precisely the goal: removing the windows of the building process will allow an aircraft to reduce its weight. A lighter aircraft consume less fuel, allowing lower costs of airlines operating worldwide.
This is an embryonic plan of researchers at the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), one British organization that has worked with several companies to develop new products. In conversations with the aerospace sector, detected the “need to take off weight of the aircraft,” explained Jon Helliwell, CPI. “Let’s remove all windows – is already being done in aircraft freight – and what is that passengers will do If you think about it, only the people who sit next to the windows are harmed,” said the investigator.
