Seem to remember that with no windows, most passengers suffer from motion sickness. Big part of what killed the BWB design when NASA and Boeing were experimenting with them years ago.
You can place windows on the side if the cabin is large. Else, you can place windows on the top.
In the worst case, you can still place lights & screens that simulate the horizon to fight motion sickness.

I fly for the fun of flying and most of the lure is the view out the window. I won't be flying if I can't enjoy the trip. Could you imagine driving cross country with no windows? Who wants that?
There is a video in YouTube about this, and they have digital camera “windows”.. but check out the buffeting in the wind tunnel.. looks like some RC guys finally got a call up haha
Marketing department spent many sleepless nights finagling that acronym...
If they want to design a lifting fuselage without all the drawbacks of the BWB (stability, structures, passenger comfort, egress) they should look into the MITs Eco Demonstrator. It integrates the conventional tube and wing and improved aerodynamics.
Agree with the comments, really poor show by Airbus to stimulate interest. Already studied by all the major US Aero manufacturers. And look at the windows, is this meant to be an IMAX theater? Joke
