Airline companies are fighting tooth and nail to reduce costs, leading to highly controversial decisions, ideas, and patents. On the other hand, they also have to compete with each other, and the passenger willing to pay a little more is a tempting target. That represents the need to provide a far superior experience, and to achieve that, the people at Windspeed propose SkyDeck, a special dome in which a passenger can enjoy a privileged view, in 360 degrees.
A recurring purchase among most billionaires is the private jet. Some prefer to take the controls, while others simply use it as personal transport. Regardless of the situation, these wealthy individuals form one of the main lifelines for the aviation industry, which seeks to meet demands and improve the flight experience at the same time. Nor should we forget the airlines. Lately, their news is reduced to methods to reduce seat spaces, put more people in the same row, or charge for the use of bathrooms, but it would be a real madness if they ignored the so-called "VIP traveler" who demands something different.
The SkyDeck Concept
How different? Well, the company Windspeed has something in mind. Its name is SkyDeck, a special transparent dome located on the 'roof' of the plane, through which two passengers can access a unique view during the flight, even better than the pilots themselves have. The SkyDeck concept comes in two versions: one that moves passengers with a small elevator, and another simpler one with a staircase. In both cases, passengers will have the option to rotate their seats and enjoy the flight in 360 degrees.
Windspeed anticipates multiple variants of its SkyDeck system, including a compact edition for a single passenger. The company says the SkyDeck can be installed on a wide range of existing aircraft, from executive jets to the great titans that dominate our skies. Furthermore, Windspeed says it has considered all the details in the development of the patent, including aerodynamic performance, extra weight, structural integrity of the fuselage, impact tests, condensation, and the inevitable additional fuel consumption. For now, it's just a concept. In a few years, who knows?
