This is the future of in - flight entertainment harmonize to the aerospace giant Thales . Called Digital Sky , the prototype system provide 21 - inch touch screen that take up a huge wrapping of the tail end back .
The Points Guy spottedthe displays at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg . The land site explains that the large HD screens are installed in a portraiture orientation — though video recording plays in landscape painting , obviously — which mean that reading magazine on the seat back is realistic ( and in reality rather neat ) option .
While it does n’t take up any more astuteness than a regular in - flight entertainment organisation — so legroom is n’t compromise — there is the small result of the tray table . With so much blank space taken up by the screen , you ’d have to poise your dinner party a little more carefully than usual . A tough call : Movies or nutrient ?
As for whether or not you ’ll see this in an airplane any clip soon?The peak Guynotes that Thales does n’t have any better half signed up , though the prototype looks reasonably damn polished . We can likely expect to see something a bit like this from more upmarket airlines before too long .
