I wonder what this manufacturers are up to proposing a windowless plane,which will see passengers sitting in the baggage hold.totally bizarre!
Zodiac Aerospace has released plans
which will see the lower deck of the proposed jumbo jet being converted
into passenger seating - with storage found along the side of the plane
in smaller “cubbies”.

The design also features vending machines built into the walls to
hand out inflight meals and gigantic video screens displaying a live
feed of the sky outside - captured by inbuilt cameras on the outside of
the plane.
The new deck will be able to carry around 110 passengers and a
staircase at each end will allow passengers to board and leave the plane
quickly in case of emergency.
In the patent filing, Zodiac Aerospace said its research showed only
37 per cent of cargo space on modern aeroplanes was being used.
The firm said this could be because more people are travelling on
budget airlines which charge a premium to checking in baggage.

It said: “The goal has been for the lower deck to function as more
than storage of luggage or for installation of auxiliary equipment
needed for operating the aircraft.
“For example, in some instances, the lower deck has been designed to
host a lounge, sanitary facilities such as lavatories, related waiting
areas, beds, and a galley that can deliver food up to the main deck
cabin (in some instances, via an elevator in the galley area).”
