I always wanted one of those growing up. Never got one, but look at them every once in awhile.

Its usually in direct sunlight which is nearly impossible to do on those older pumps or timed out displays.. Kinda funny if you start paying attention to it.

Blended wing, lifting body-esk.

The Air Force has been looking at it. Lots of advantages.

My company is building a UAS on the same principle for commercial UAS.

This flew over just a little while ago; I was in the shop under a car, so I was late getting the picture

Boeing has been toying with a blended wing passenger aircraft for some time. There are some considerations once we want to put people in one of these things that don't come up when they are bombers and freighters.

People like to be able to see out, through real windows. Or at least have one nearby. It's a real psychological hurdle, believe it or not.

People don't like to sit too far out from the aircraft's roll center. They get kinda squeamish when the ship banks very much. So, they have to sit towards the center - no windows. Cargo goes outboard, but doesn't need windows... hmm...

So keep them close to the roll axis and give them a wall with virtual windows. Freight goes outboard. Don't bother about real windows. The hull should be cheaper and lighter ofsetting the cost and weight of the screens.
