The weight of those windows, and the risk they pose of leaks, is completely out of line with reality.

Replace “windows” or viewing ports with a series of HD cameras in/on the hull and transmit the video to any monitor aboard...

There’s been proposals to eliminate ports in the fuselages of future commercial aircraft (stiffens and strengthens fuselage, and eliminates places for cracks to form as well as lightens) and replace with LCD displays on the “walls” and “ceiling” of the passenger cabin for a panoramic view...

Sounds beautiful to me but may freak out a lot of people, especially the agoraphobic ones...
