National Business Aviation Association hottest idea

Bored of inflight internet, even the Eithad Airways' luxurious the Residence suite not special enough. Windspeed Tech wants to retrofit, SkyDeck, a 360 degrees clear teardrop bubble on top of airliners and business jets. Similar to materials and fabrication techniques of fighter plane canopies, one or two passengers could have a commanding view (and extra UV dosage) of their flight route. The optimized shape will not interfere with the aircraft's aero efficiency or tail control performance, however the added weight of the canopy and extra structural strengthening will affect fuel consumption. Most likely made up by ultra premium tickets.
