New Concept by Airbus: A transparent airplane!

Airbus MUST BE gathering some best brains to do some seriously cool stuff like this.

They are thinking of a futuristic craft that would comprise of a lightweight ceramic material where in at the push of a button, passengers could send electricity through a cabin’s ceramic exterior thus causing a chemical reaction that renders the ceramic transparent. 😲 (I mean wow! What a concept!)

Not only would passengers be able to see completely out of the side of the airplane but also directly above and below! 😁

Among the other features planned for this yet unnamed aircraft are:

  • self-cleaning seats,
  • nano-capsules that automatically seal structural fissures,
  • engines embedded into the fuselage (to reduce external plane noise) and
  • energy-gathering solar panels on the wings.

What a flight it would be! 😎 ... I am already imagining things.

What do you think CEans? Will this concept come into reality? Is this feasible?
If yes, what's your take on this? πŸ˜€

    nevertheless- I think there is similar technology where the glass windows can turn transparent or opaque based on user requirements

    the below is best vedio I found :-|

    on the second note- I might feel terrified to see below some 10s and thousands of feet !

    😁 So, that means it really is possible.

    I can't wait for such an airbus. (right now...Chairborne to Airborne) 😁
