LONDON : The world's first windowless plane is all set to take off. A British developer will soon test a windowless plane that allows
passengers to see what's going on outside.
The windows would be replaced by full-length screens allowing constant views of the sky
and space outside.
Passengers would be able to switch the view on and off according to their preference,
identify prominent sights by tapping the screen or just surf the internet.
Scientists and engineers at Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) called it "the windowless cabin with a view". They said, "The days of glimpsing the world through a tiny plastic porthole when you fly
are soon to be a thing of the past; future.aircrafts will offer a crystal clear panoramic.view without any windows at all.
We are developing ultra-flexible, high-definition display technologies that could line the
interior walls of cabins and display live footage from external cameras."

'digital wallpaper' will allow travellers to personalize their environment providing options to adjust lighting or change the view.
It could also be used as a multimedia device for in-flight entertainment.
Using OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology, the thin, bendable and lightweight displays screens will blend with the fuselage
and surfaces such as seatbacks optimizing space and reducing the weight of the aircraft.
