While windows are pleasant for passengers, they create structural weak points that require extra reinforcement and add weight. Now, after years of mostly unsuccessful efforts to eliminate windows from cabins, one luxury jet maker appears to be on the verge of doing just that. These ultra-modern jets, still in development, have eliminated traditional passenger cabin windows entirely, replacing them with virtual ones that display real-time views from high-definition cameras mounted around the aircraft’s exterior. Windows were sacrificed in a battle against aerodynamic dragOtto’s decision to ditch windows is part of a broader design philosophy focused on maximizing laminar flow. The cabin seats up to nine passengers, and the absence of windows allows for greater interior customization, whether for relaxation or productivity purposes.
