Airliners without window

So the passenger plane without windows is being touted again as the windows serve no useful purpose? Bet Michael O’Leary can’t wait - would you like endless adverts, or a view outside? Outside Sir? That’ll be extra.

For those interested, here’s the proposed A380 double-deck version.

Imagine Ryanair without windows… they could just play you a video of taking off without actually moving… and then tell you to get a bus to where you really want to go. Not much different from what they do now really?

I really don't believe the windows make up 50% of the weight of a wide bodied jet.

A plane without a window is 50% lighter,

Isn't it the strengthening they have to add to allow the windows to be cut in that adds the weight? DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

I'm sure it does add weight, but not 50%. There is still an awful lot of stuff in a big plane, even without the windows and additional strengthening. Richard

Pre-load everyone into cargo containers and fork lift ‘em in? There are two rules for success,
