It still remains to be seen if pax will be willing to sit in a blended
wing aircraft. There will be almost no windows and the seat
configuration will be more like a theater than a traditional airplane.
It will result in considerable disorientation for the pax. Maybe people
will get used to it, but maybe they won't. I don't have high hopes for
it.

Sitting in the middle seats of a 747, or in a BWB would be much the same.

If you give all of the passengers a LCD in front of them, and the ability to
switch to different views, I'll bet most will have no problem with it.
