# Wide-View Concept Aircraft The Micronautix Triton Gives Passengers a Front Seat View By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-12-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-aircraft References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/micronautix-triton-front-seat-aeroplane/35047/) & [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/micronautix-triton-front-seat-aeroplane/35047/) The Micronautix Triton is a concept aircraft that is designed so passengers can enjoy the same full-on front view of the world that pilots enjoy. Passenger aircraft windows only give you a very limited view of the world around you, and one that pales in comparison to the sights pilots can behold. The eccentric design situates the cockpit in a central fuselage -- however each wing features its own [passenger pod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-iris-etrike) with a [panoramic front window](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-vehicle). Each front passenger seat also has a tandem seat behind it that doesn't offer the full frontal view. Micronautix, the design firm that developed this concept aircraft, believes it will take $60 million to engineer, manufacture and certify the Triton. It's a really interesting concept, and I for one would totally be down for a ride on a wing-attached pod with a panoramic view. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Panoramic Experience:** Opportunity for airlines to provide unique experiences to their customers by offering panoramic front windows in their aircrafts. - **Eco-friendly Aircrafts:** Opportunity for aircraft manufacturers to incorporate eco-friendly features in their designs such as solar panels and fuel-efficient engines. - **Integrating Innovative Design:** Opportunity for aircraft manufacturers to integrate innovative designs such as passenger pods and central fuselages to enhance customers' flying experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Aerospace and Defense:** Aerospace and defense companies can benefit from designing and producing concept aircrafts with unique concepts that can attract more customers. - **Transportation:** Opportunity for transportation companies to provide unique flying experiences to their customers. - **Architectural Design:** Architects and design firms can collaborate with aircraft manufacturers to create innovative interior space designs for futuristic aircrafts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Air Travel Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airspace-cabin-vision-2035-concept.md) - [Opulent Hotel-Like Jumbo Jets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lufthansa-technik-explorer.md) - [Space Tourism Travels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-spacecraft.md) - [Panoramic Open-Air Roof Trains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-train.md) - [Blade-Like eVTOLs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostavio-mx1.md) - [Aerodynamic Gyroplane Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gyroplane.md) - [Enhanced Efficiency Aircrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-3500.md) - [Exclusive Luxurious Spaceflight Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-space-perspective.md) - [E-Trike Boat Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ztriton-20.md)
