An absolute no-brainer for a tanker, especially in the upcoming air-sea battle with China where long legs are needed.
Personally have always thought it would an ideal planform be for a large airliner as well - as McDonnell Douglas long advocated.
Am sure you could now work out a way to pressurise a non-circular fuse (noting the involvement of Scaled Composites) and get everyone out in 90 secs.
Limit bank angle as part of SOPs and you eliminate the issue of excessive vertical acceleration in roll for passengers seated away from the centreline.
The drawback is you make every tube with wings obsolete... Boeing not willing to cannibalise it's own product lines?

Pretty heavyweight team involved too - a lot of McDonnell alumnus including Bob Liebeck - widely regarded as `Mr BWB.'
