LMAO - wonder how much you have to pay to compensate the airline for the extra fuel burned due to drag?

Also wonder how long before a couple is caught joining the Mile High Club in one: could be fun for nosey fighter-pilots.... >:D

All well and good until there is a bird strike. Even if the canopy holds together imagine feathers and guts all over.....

It's supposed to be as birdstrike resistant as a fighter canopy, plus they probably won't let anyone up there until it's at cruising altitude, well above birds.

Extremely unlikely that it will ever be certified as a mod to any existing aircraft.

Also it's just stupid, wow gee I'm at 35,000 feet and I can see the sky, ermm all I can see is sky ... wait, what
I paid extra for this and there's actually nothing to see.  :-\
