Pioneering bosses at Virgin introduced a jet with a glass floor to give passengers an uninterrupted view of the Earth from 30,000ft.
The jet which offers you an amazing “walking on air” experience with the world at your feet, was commissioned as a one-off to join the airline’s new domestic Little Red fleet-flying once a day between Heathrow and Aberdeen.
The unique jet with see through glass floor has also been granted special permission to fly over Loch Ness for a unique view of the Scottish scenery.
It is identical to the standard Airbus A320, apart from a special strip of aviation-grade glass in the underbelly, with baggage stored either side.
The project was personally funded and overseen by Sir Richard Branson, CEO Virgin Atlantic.
He said: “It’s a world first. I can’t wait to experience the first flight for myself and my family.”
It’s very nice and fun to try but what about people who have acrophobia(fear of heights)? I’m sure they won’t like it.
