From an article in today's Telegraph business section;
Sir Tim Clark, the Briton who runs Emirates, has laid out his vision of a future with windowless planes, ensuring aircraft are lighter and can travel faster.
Removing them would save 50 per cent of the weight of an aircraft, "simply because in terms of build and structure and load [they] are quite a problem and you have to reinforce a fuselage to be able to take them,"
Can this claim possibly be correct?
