A windowless airplane? Not so crazy
https://www.cnet.com/news/a-windowless-airplane-not-so-crazy/
I'm forever a window seat guy. I love to fly in any form, but one of the most calming things I can do is stare out the window of an airplane with all distractions put away and watch the Earth go by. I once spent an entire flight from Boston to San Francisco just looking outside.
That said, color me curious about the prospect of a windowless commercial airliner. It may sound crazy, but Tim Clark, president of Emirates, suggested in a recent podcast that the globe-hopping airline is open to the idea. Instead of real windows, passengers could gaze at virtual windows with images projected from outside via fiber-optic cameras.
