External real-time panoramic views with no windows – and why not?

Using external cameras to project images inside the cabin, this may be viewed as an aviation furturist’s fantasy. Not exactly. The camera technology already exists as do the aircraft solar panels which would power the low-voltage displays into the fuselage and interior cabin roof. Removing windows reduce weight and the screens would allow for multiple immersive sensory images to be shown.

The potential is obvious as are the regulatory challenges (emergency exits?) and the design concept may well need a large business jet manufacturer backing to give it the boost to launch. IXION admit the design execution is a real challenge but as a concept, it may well gain traction.
