There’s good news for those who like to travel and escape the daily routine to various yoga retreats.

It looks like flying in the future could become a lot faster thanks to US-based Spike Aerospace, which is building aeroplanes without windows.

But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to see what’s going on outside. – How? Instead of windows, thin screens will be embedded in the walls of the aircrafts, which will display a live, panoramic view, sent from cameras attached to the outside of the plane. Passengers will be able to dim the screens or change the display to a stored image.

The reason behind all of this is that windows are heavy and cause drag, so by removing them, planes will be able to fly much faster, which is great for those of you taking long haul flights to yoga retreats. Spike Aerospace says that their planes will be able to fly from London to New York within three to four hours instead of the current six to seven hours.

When Can I Fly to my Yoga Retreats?

Of course, these planes won’t be here for a while yet. The earliest people can fly to yoga retreats in one of these jets is 2018, but even then, the cost of a ticket on one of these Supersonic Jets will undoubtedly be very expensive, so businesses will most likely use them first. Eventually, these planes should be available to everyone so we can all travel to our favourite yoga retreats much faster.

While a reduced journey time is the main reason for removing the windows, this in turn will mean less fuel is used, making these jets more eco-friendly than current planes. So while tickets will certainly be quite pricey at first, at least we can take comfort in the knowledge that it’s better for the environment.

Would you fly in a windowless aeroplane to your yoga retreats if it means saving fuel and faster flights?
