Windowless Plane Would Let Passengers See World Around Them

In your typical plane, there is the aisle seat, the middle seat, and the window seat which in my opinion, is the best seat.

UK-based tech innovation company CPI hopes to be among the first to design a windowless aircraft, where every passenger gets to enjoy electronic panoramic views without the restriction of airplane cabin windows. While this sounds like a pure luxury experience, there surely is more science behind it. CPI claims that this project can further improve sustainability and money-saving. For every 1% reduction in weight, the approximate fuel saving is 0.75%. By eliminating windows, the reduction of airplane weight requires less fuel consumption. And less fuel means less CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and lower operational costs.

As mentioned in class 15, social, environmental and economic demands are considered the three pillars of sustainability. Businesses are based off these elements, and so often, they are the determinants of economic continuity. CPI seamlessly incorporates these three elements into this upgrade in aviation industry. Not only does the environment and standard of living are improved; companies can now maximize profits through operating at lower costs, the reduction in airfare impels purchasing power, both sellers and buyers are benefited.

Sustainability is achieved. And everyone wins.
