South African and global news updates with a twist. 2oceansvibe is South Africa’s biggest solely owned online news platform with local and world news updates.

A private aerospace engineering firm, Windspeed Technologies, has designed a glass pod with a pair of seats inside that can be fitted on existing commercial aircraft to provide passengers with a 360-degree view during flight. The design is still in the concept phase, but thanks to some pretty AI visuals we are given a glance at what must surely be the best way to fly.

In-flight entertainment options haven't changed much over the years, with this novel idea intended to "create a product that would deliver a greater level of entertainment to alleviate the boredom associated with long trips". Windspeed Technologies' initial concern was that the aircraft's tail performance might be hampered by the bubble, but according to recent studies, using a teardrop canopy shape alleviates this risk.
