My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

That could be a bit unnerving! :shock: Going one better would be a clear material fuselage, cabin walls and ceiling, and you would see it all with no exception. I don't know if a material like that has been invented yet though. Pete :cheers:

I think you are more likely to get the virtual version, it would save a bit of weight removing the windows due to the strengthening that goes around all those apertures.

^ Yeah, if they tried for a clear fuselage it would have to be scratch proof as well. That's Star Trek "clear aluminum" technology. :D Pete :cheers:
