Wow...way to make those afraid of flying even MORE afraid of flying...LOL!

I personally think it's a neat concept. Would I fly in it? Maybe. I'd just rather have bigger windows...not transparent. Have they thought about the fact that people might still want to sleep on overnight flights when the sun might be coming up?

I think bigger windows with the same shade system would be pretty nice. In the A380, there's so far between the first pane of glass/plexiglass/whatever it is and the outside glass that the window is pretty darned small and you can't see much out of it. Ironically, I got my best view by putting my iTouch up to it and viewing out the window that way...LOL!
