Make the pressure vessel a tube like present AC and put LCD displays that look like windows and passengers will be comfortable. As long as the passengers are comfortable the operating and maintenance costs will sell the BWB to the airlines. We will know that Boeing is on to something when Airbus says it will never work. Just kidding!!!

I thought some time ago that Airbus was working with some German university on a BWB structure?

I think European aerospace company was looking into the BWB design. But McDonnell Douglas I believe was the only company that gave that design a serious study though.
