Airbus designers predict that aeroplanes of the future will have totally transparent ceramic hulls that remove the need for windows while giving passengers unparalleled views of the outside world.It sounds very nice (aside from the prospect of a case of the screaming meemies when looking straight down), but I'd be willing to pass on a flying goldfish bowl if the airliners would bring back seats designed for full-grown human beings, decent cabin service, schedules that aren't works of fiction, and airports that are comfortable starting places for pleasant journeys instead of a hellish cross between a coach station and a POW camp designed to pick your pocket.

On the plus side, it should drastically cut down on hanky-panky in the loo. In fact, they can probably get by with not even having restrooms this way.
Oh, wait- that's probably what they have in mind...
cheers
