First class carriers can provide their customers with the best of everything. Want to quickly reach the destination? Please! When flights want to feel like in a five star restaurant? No problem! Want to relax during the flight with the comfort that is offered only in the best hotels in the world? Always at your service! However, even the most mighty of this world becomes bored with this «luxury of monotony», and therefore airlines try to invent new forms of entertainment to lure customers.

According to aerospace engineering companies Windspeed, one of the aircraft manufacturers (company name not yet specified) in the near future plans to start offering its customers a new option SkyDeck (sky deck). It consists in the following. The aircraft upgrade, and he gets two additional seats, for comfort is not inferior to first-class individual seats in first class. These chairs, most interestingly, are under special aerodynamic dome, in favour of the fuselage. If desired, preferred clients, the chair will rise on a special mechanism, and in front of people opens unprecedented views of the surrounding plane of the cloud.
The company Windspeed, leading the development of the dome ensures that the material used for its construction, strength is equivalent to the other materials used in the fuselage of the aircraft, and will easily withstand any of the harshest weather conditions and other external effects, such as direct collision with birds (you have no idea how many each year birds literally crash into a flying aircraft).
The dome itself and the mechanism that will raise the seat SkyDeck, will add extra weight to the plane, which, in turn, will reduce the number of seats and the weight of baggage he can carry. This, in turn, should reduce the yield from the flight. However, the carrier may compensate for this reduction by setting very high prices for the option SkyDeck (in the end, it is about exclusivity) or to distribute the price of the option for a greater number of passengers who want to experience new sensations. Ultimately this will allow, on the contrary, to increase profitability.
The concept that within a couple years could become a reality after the design and all necessary items will be brought to perfection, on a level more suitable for some first class private marine vessel. However, the possibility of in complete safety and comfort to enjoy the beauty of the sky at a height of 10 000 meters seems very attractive. Despite potentially very high price of this opportunity, lack of willing to experience new sensations, the company that continue to offer them.
