A new plane design could end the argument over who gets the window seat. A firm is attempting to build a private jet whereby the entire cabin wall is a screen that looks like a giant window.

Live video from outside the plane creates the images that can be displayed on the screens or if the passengers wish images of their own can be shown or movies whichever is their personal preference.

The Spike Aerospace S-512 claims to be the 'first supersonic business jet' and promises to cut flight times in half so that busy billionaires will be able to travel from New York to London in just three hours.

The engineers, who have previously worked for aerospace giants such as Airbus, Gulfstream and Bombardier, have spent the past two years designing the luxury aircraft and believe the jet will be capable of flying between New York and London in three hours.

LA to Tokyo will take just five hours and London to Mumbai, four hours, according to the firm.

‘It will save passengers time so they can explore more of the world,' the company said.

Cameras surrounding the entire aircraft will construct breath taking panoramic views displayed on the cabin screens.

The jet, which is designed to carry between 12 and 18 passengers in the lap of luxury, is intended to take off in December 2018.

Companies including NASA and Boeing are currently trying to develop supersonic aircraft of their own to reduce the noise that the jets make when breaking the sound barrier.
