I don't know about the ceiling design though. Most passengers do not like to fly with the sun beating down on top of their noggins for hours on end.

Wouldn't it just be cheaper, easier, stronger, and more efficient to make a fuselage with no windows at all and just put a bunch of cameras on the outside?
By 2050, I'd think display technology will be at the point where you could just plaster the inside of the fuselage with displays that make it look like you're looking outside. Heck, we're getting close to that point now and you wouldn't even have to come up with a completely unnecessary clear airplane.
Plus, unless it is the answer to the following question, no airline will ever buy it. "Is it cheaper to operate than the airplane we have now?" My guess is no. Remember the Boeing Sonic Cruiser? "Same cost for 30% more speed" and airlines said "How about same speed for 30% less cost?" and we got the 787 instead.

After all most don't get a window in an airplane anyways and then the person that sat by the window closes it from push to chocks in.

But that won't bother HAL back in Semi Valley. He's immune to the biologics whining.
