Virgin launches glass-bottomed plane

Entrepreneurship is all about discovering opportunities and creating solutions. Here my Mentor and Role Model Sir Richard Branson has done it again.
Read this as put on his website…

” Im thrilled to announce that Virgin has created another world-first with the introduction of the technology required to produce the worlds first glass-bottomed plane. This technological innovation coincides with the start of Virgin Atlantic Airways first ever domestic service to Scotland.

In 1984 we started the wonderful airline that is Virgin Atlantic. I am incredibly proud of yet another aviation breakthrough which has been years in the making. I cant wait to experience the first flight for myself with my family and other natural born explorers.

2012 was a year of celebrating what is brilliant about Great Britain and Im excited that in 2013 we are continuing this uplifting spirit by developing an experience that will enable Little Red passengers to appreciate the beauty of the British landscape. And with an unrivalled view of Scotland I hope this gives Scottish tourism an even bigger boost.

We hope to trial the glass bottom technology with other Virgin airlines in time and have asked other Virgin companies to support this innovative trial and launch our new domestic Scottish route. This really is a team effort from all corners of Virgin. ”
Though it was reported as an April fool joke on www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/03/china-cctv-april-fools_n_3005971.html but something is very clear to me.
An innovation starts from an idea and don’t be surprised if you see this someday.
Here is something to wrap it up from Richard Branson…

To me, business isn’t about wearing suites or pleasing stockholders. It’s about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials. – Richard Branson
Richard Branson is often referred to as the tie loathing adventurer and thrill seeker, who believes in turning ideas into reality. Otherwise known as Dr Yes at @virgingroup!
