Maybe we’d gain enough space for a designated viewing area passengers could visit.



I love your optimism. There are already designating viewing areas and bars for people who shell out first class $$$. But vast majority of people happen to be rational economic agents who choose lower price tickets. So the reality is - there will just be more seats.


Also, the best viewing is typically at landing and takeoff when everyone needs to be seated anyway, so I expect it'll end up as a selection of outdoor camera feeds that are available from your seat-back display.


Perhaps on a few planes, but for most, economics means it'll make more sense to just put more seats there.


Or maybe put up partitions in the middle of the plane with digital "windows" embedded inside
