DD- you're getting blinkered by thinking up to now, without projecting ahead. Go for some blue skies thinking! If (when) this thing comes in, we have a group of seats like a movie theatre, with no windows, except forward facing ones with net curtains to draw. They are now producing LCD-type screens 3mm thick. By the time a beastie like this appears, we will have floor to ceiling LCD=type screens, seat compartments screened off by walls showing whatever you like. People would not want a window because of watching whatever can be put on the screens. Look at the job Boeing engineers and cabin designers have done with the 787, and think forward 15 years. You could have side walls completely showing floor to ceiling live views of outside on full height video screens, in HD. Who would want a pokey little window? A camera could be on the flight deck allowing me to demonstrate on a screen 10 feet high my conjuring tricks for 2 hours to 600 people- there is no end to the delights modern technology could bring to a design like this.
So keesj, stop playing about with ancient designs and really let your imagination go! Some of the models in Thunderbird 40 years ago showed more design flair than we see these days. That big green vertical transport aircraft-Thunderbird 2:
