There has been quite a bit of talk with manufacturers, about a windowless fuselage.
'windows' would be replaced by displays fed by cameras.
The fuselage without windows would weigh about 25% less. That is very significant. The ac would be much quieter inside the cabin as well.
I can see this on the flightdeck very easily. Instead of windows, you would have a bank of displays. The display size would not be restricted. HUD would be integrated, as well as many other features such as zoom, IR, ILS/GLS guidance, or thermal. Hell, you could even have a touchscreen with the FMS right on the display, no looking down.
Aerodynamically, the nose without windows would be an incredible leap forward.
Looking at the Patent app, prior art may be the Starship Enterprise!
