Jet Cam

on May 17th, 2007

This is a cool idea I saw over on Brain Lash’s blog:

When we are on-board of a commercial jet, sometimes the pilot would announce through the PA system, ‘Folks, here is a nice view of the Hoover Dam on the left side of the plane.’ But that view is only for those on the left side to see. How about the rest of the passengers?

Airlines have installed cameras to show takeoff, approaching and landing. Why not make that camera show the area over which the plane is flying, continuously? The camera can even take aerial photos on-demand, as activated by the passengers. The photos can be emailed or downloaded to the passengers after landing, for a fee of course. The interface can be easily done through the in-flight entertainment monitor. For those who like the Rockies or Paris at dusk, the aerial ‘JetCam’ can create some memorable shots.”

It apparently comes from the website Why Not which looks rather interesting.
