But this is not a new news! I've been hearing about such 'concept' ideas by aircraft manufacturers for months, if not for years now.
What I take issue with is the wording of the sub-heading of this story, "UK developer working on replacing heavy aircraft windows with uber-light smartscreen panels to cut fuel consumption and slash air fares".
How is the inception of this idea related to some artist/developer sitting in UK? With all due credit to the UK peoples for contribution to the field of engineering, this sub-heading is a mis-representation of facts and it seems like theguardian is simply trying to push some sort of agenda to the rest of the world.
- billforsternz 12y agoIt's not at all clear to me what your objection is. You don't like that the developer is in the UK ? Doesn't seem very rational. You think there are lots of development teams working on this, not just one in the UK ? Okay but the article is about the one in the UK.
- nnain 12y agoThe article tends to suggest as if some uber-cool team mentioned in this article came up with this idea; while that is clearly not the case. It's media coverage for some random company without any attempt to identify who started this first.
