Future Passenger Helmet: Fly In Soothing Gear


According to CNN, a new device allows passengers to block out all flight noise, and travel within an isolated space. Like a helmet, it covers the head and includes a pillow, as well as latest electronics for music, video, email and other functions.

Though not actually resembling metal head gear worn at King Arthur’s Round Table, it’ll isolate wearers from the annoying environment of today’s air travel. So, in the near future, when settling down in your cramped seat for a long red-eye flight, you’ll put on the helmet and peacefully say good knight. www.cnn.com/2014/09/15/travel/airbus-virtual-reality-helmets/index.html?hpt=tr_c2
