Tech Discussion 2/21/14: New S-512 Supersonic Jet Screens

 
 
The new S-512 Supersonic Jet has replaced its windows with video screens. The video screens are embedded in the interior walls. The parts needed for typical airplane windows add weight to the plane, making it travel slower. This plane is expected to be the first supersonic business jet. It will allow its passengers to fly from New York to London in about 3-4 hours, rather than the ordinary 6-7 hours. It was also take about 8 hours rather than 14-16 hours to fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo. This jet will use video cameras to project real panoramic videos on the screens. The passengers will be able to dim the screens and also select different content to play on the screens. This jet, in its full, is expected to come out in the year of 2018.
