Boeing announced SkyView Panoramic Window – the largest window available on any passenger jet offered today. The SkyView Panoramic are developed and produced by GKN Aerospace’s Fokker Technologies division and are made of acrylic.
The large apertures, which will only be available on corporate planes, is basically the size of three regular 737 windows together, measuring approximately 4.5 feet by 1.5 foot (1.4 x 0.5 m).
Situated aft of the wing with multiple potential locations based on the airplane type, it offers customers an unparalleled perspective of the world. Passengers can regulate light and heat, reduce noise inside the cabin or interact with the moving map directly on the window.
The window will be available through GKN Aerospace’s Fokker business as a retrofit on existing BBJs, and through Boeing Business Jets as a priced feature. It will be delivered on BBJ MAX airplanes starting in 2018.
