How about no? https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/travel-news-cabin-concepts-busiest-airports/index.html If there's a fire on one side of the aircraft, you don't want an impassible bulkhead in the loving way. Also, flight attendants aren't going to want to have to drill on three different evac procedures for each cabin.

lol, you're jammed into a CRJ seat but the flight is 10 hours long and also your airplane was designed by Satan himself. I bet they could make each of those a 3-2 or a 3-3 configuration by combining it with the "seats face each other and your knees interleave" seating plan.

pulled this quote up from a linked articlequote:Every year the Crystal Cabin Awards showcase innovative ideas that reconceptualize the airplane cabin experience. There are eight categories, with awards spotlighting everything from eco-friendly innovations – such as an AI-based food waste app idea from German airline Lufthansa – to next generation concepts straight from the university classroom. my guess is someone doesn't know about air cargo, and that more than just your checked bag goes in the bottom half of the plane also it came from an architecture and urban design firm so I imagine they're not even the slightest bit interested in feasibility

It happened for awhile last year on commuter rail in Ontario - the windows on trains were partly covered on the inside to promote online sports gambling. https://www.blogto.com/sports_play/2022/06/people-ontario-are-completely-fed-sports-betting-ads-taking-over/

Not sure if this is thread appropriate, but Montemayor puts out solid animated battle map videos. His latest is on the carrier battle of the Eastern Solomons. Always fascinating to see how the fog of war complicated the already complex logistics of putting fighting planes on boats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=571OpfoyZXg There's also a bonus at the end.

There’s a rea$on converted freighter$ omit the pa$$enger window$ and purpo$e built freighter$ don’t have them at all. Windows on a pressure vessel are a lot more expensive to maintain than you’d think at first glance.

Here's a hypothetical for the thread. If you were designing from scratch a passenger airliner specifically for Spirit or Frontier or Ryanair, with the overriding goal of squeezing down per-seat operating costs as much as possible, what would it look like? Assume the development costs are written off. No windows? Unpressurized? Standing room only?

You know how a garbage truck has a giant hydraulic ram that compacts all the trash so that it can fit more trash?

Assume the development costs are written off. The question becomes how many regulations can we ignore. I think no windows and “standing room” would be prohibited. There are weird “half standing” concepts every once in a while that are kind of like a standing roller coaster. I think you’d hit the practical exit limit on an aircraft first and if you needed to throw in more doors you may as well use normal seats.

Standing is hard, so lay everyone down instead. Japanese pod hotel basically. And/or beehive.
