WONDERFUL PATENTS – AIRCRAFT WITHOUT WINDOWS



Can any of us imagine a pilot sitting either in the tail of an Aircraft or in the cargo berth?

Unbelievable!!!

Yes.... the future planes will be operated from its tail piece.

Airbus, A pioneer in the Aircraft Industry filed a patent application for an Aircraft without windows.

The patent application published on 26 June 2014 as US 20140180508 A1, was filed before the USPTO on Dec 23, 2013. The patent was granted on 05.04.2016 as US9302780B2.

It was invented by Jason Zaneboni and Bruno Saint-Jalmes. The patent was titled as "Aircraft with a cockpit including a viewing surface for piloting which is at least partially virtual".


The invention is aimed to reduce the impact on the mass and on the aerodynamics of the aircraft. Moreover the invention gives a way to reduce the size of the cabin thereby increase the intake of the passengers. The payload of the aircraft can also be increased. The efficacy and safety of the aircraft can be increased, because the pilot is immerse in a three dimensional universe.


 The present invention may set the future of the aircraft industry interesting. The present invention also raises many questions such as 

1. What happens if the camera and display screens are damaged?

2. Is there any solution in case of the plane runs out of the power back up?

3. Is there any alternative view provided to the pilot in case of the failure of the electronics in the aircraft?

But we can relax and wait for the answers to the questions raised above in the form of a new invention from an avid inventor in the field of power pack, camera and display screen.
