Cockpit windows on the B787.

gcal,

The cockpit of the B787 does not have any opening windows, but an escape hatch in the roof.

Exactly the same arrangement can be found on the B747 and on other aircraft types, for example ATR42/72 and Bombardier Q400.

In other words, this arrangement is not a new design philosophy.
