The plane of the future

Although the traveler experience has improved a lot in recent times, the truth is that flying in plane it is still only a way to reach our destination. What we mean by this is that the majority of the 3 million passengers who fly by plane each year do so not for pleasure, but out of a need to get to a specific location.

However, it may be that sooner than we think there are many people who decide to fly simply to enjoy the journey, at least in the planes developed by the Center for Process Innovation (CPI), based in London, which has just presented the "plane of the future". Do you want to know what it is? We give you a hint: it will not have windows but you can enjoy the views even more.

A windowless plane

If a few weeks ago we had the opportunity to present you a sports plane created in collaboration with Nike, today we have to talk to you about what is possibly the plane of the future. As they have explained from the CPI, this aircraft will go through the windows and opt for the cabins where these are screens of display. Interesting, don't you think? And all thanks to the engineers of this innovation center, who have developed an airplane model where passengers will have fun while comfortably enjoying their journey. Also thanks to the absence of windows, the plane will weigh much less.

A new generation of aircraft

This windowless plane is still in the testing phase, but it looks like it could be the start of a new generation of commercial aircraft with super-thin screens, the most flexible and, of course, excellent definition. Of course, the best of all is what is intended to be projected on these screens: images of the exterior that will make you feel in an airplane without ceilings or walls. In fact, you will have a vision panorama of the outside. This will be possible thanks to cameras installed in the fuselage of the aircraft. In addition, the idea of ​​including touch screens so that passengers can perform certain functions is also being considered: checking email, having a conversation with someone, playing games ... In short, surfing the Internet.

A stronger and lighter aircraft

Although the most surprising thing about this "plane of the future" is that from the inside it will appear that you are flying through the clouds, the truth is that it must also be taken into account that it will be a very resistant as well as light, so you will need less fuel and emit less CO2. This will mean greater money savings and an improvement to the environment, something that all companies try to achieve. In fact, it seems that for every 1% reduction in weight, 0.75% in fuel is saved.

Display problems

According to the CPI, the huge screens would be made of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), which, although they provide high definition, it is a very face and very sensitive to humidity. Therefore, it seems that some progress still needs to be made in this regard. Apparently, it may take about five years for these panels to be ready to be mass produced. Therefore, they believe that the project could be completed in about ten years.

Would you like to travel on a plane like this in the future? We leave you with him video that the company has prepared to present this new project. Do not miss it!
