Future airplanes could have 'virtual windows'
Emirates airline is experimenting with removing the windows from their planes and replacing them with high-definition video displays, according to USA Today. Their President, Tim Clark, said the change would allow aircraft to be built lighter, fly faster, and use less fuel because engineers wouldn't have to work around the structural weaknesses of windows. Special cameras on the outside of the plane would pipe in the actual surroundings to the screens and prototypes have shown that they are surprisingly realistic.
