The Oculus Rift is for the "poor" people.
Really rich ones do not want to be bother with wearing Oculus Rift. The
plane is the Oculus Rift.

Btw, that plane is just more than 40 years old in conception: the
Concorde was initially planed to be without windows (for better
resilience) but the decision was changed due to psychological discomfort
(no flat lcd widescreen at that time).

planned Mach 1.6 when Concorde went Mach 2... seems someone has just
traded speed for range (Concorde was a bit short by today standard. Only
viable exploitation was New-york --(Paris/London), unable to go
further... not even Chicago)

-- 
Just because nobody complains does not mean all parachutes are perfect.
