Streamlined and more fuel-efficient, windowless planes could be the norm in future

One of the pleasures of flying may be admiring the world below, but that experience could be significantly altered in future if plans for the development of a windowless jet come to fruition,

French design agency Technicon Design has released renderings showing its proposed Ixion Windowless Jet, a private jet that is completely devoid of windows in its fuselage. In their place, screens would line the interior of the cabin, displaying footage of the panoramas outside. Should the aircraft be flying through a tedious setting, passengers could request that the scenes on display be changed to show film footage, video conferencing interfaces or various other forms of imagery.

Technicon Design states that removing windows from aircrafts will reduce their weight, thus reducing fuel and maintenance costs and giving designers greater opportunities to enhance and beautify their interiors.
