American unveils 777-300ER with Sky Interior elements
With its 1,000th unit coming down the line for Emirates, Boeing's 777 continues to evolve from its earliest incarnations. The latest interior catalog offerings, now selected by American Airlines, include a 787 and 737-style Sky Interior LED-lit entryway for its 777-300ERs, which enter the fleet in December. Long-time Boeing interior design firm Teague was believed to have been working on this feature for a while now. (www.flightglobal.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Taking a break from the negative - forget the pretty sky interior - instead, spend the money on a Google street view style wide angle camera, (as small & light as possible inside a minimum drag transparent housing), in the nose of the 777 and rig it up so passengers can view it's video real time by looking at their back of the seat monitors if they wish to access it. Provide a laptop style mouse pad so viewing angles can changed. Alternatively, have a wifi version so the camera signal can be viewed on passengers laptops.
Sounds cool but tell me again what this would accomplish? Are you trying to access where you are in the world while you fly in a Google type interface? Confused....
Basically, a video camera in the nose of an airliner would give passengers a great view forward - better than even the pilots view. I would certainly enjoy it. Your side window view is not that great - especially if your seat is not next to a window.
Oh...yeah...I was totally think of something like Google Maps not the images ... yeah that makes sense. In flight would be pretty boring but takeoff and landing would be AWESOME!
I think this is a good move by American and Boeing, hopefully AA will create an in flight product on par with the rest of what OneWorld offers.
Bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean that an entity doesn't have any money. Even if you capitalize it.
