There was an article about it in today's Irish Examiner but it wasn't in the on-line version :(

I loved the comments below the article - especially the one about flying in a greenhouse :).
Not many in favour though!

They're the ones that were in the Irish Examiner.

Alas, it is unlikely I will be around to experience it :(

I wouldn't fancy this for a long haul! Maybe short haul...

What a fantastic looking aircraft, such a shame that in service it would never look like that.

The pure economics of the airline industry would not allow for such a seating set up.

I can only imagine passenger reactions to be flying through the clouds, though of course the majority of us on here would love itwe would be in the minority.

I do like the new "Bubble"...

Has SRB already placed an order?
It does look as though it needs a few UCS ):

If Airbus really want to get innovative with large scale passenger transport perhaps the HAV is the way to go.
