Window-less transport aircraft
First Claim
1. To substitute an electronic digital imaging and display system for passenger windows in pressurized transport aircraft of any size, shape and weight category. The view captured and transmitted by the camera would be nearly the same view or could be an enhanced view that a passenger would see outside of the fuselage when peering through the window.

Abstract
Transport aircraft with passenger windows are a relatively complex add-on to the design of a fuselage. These windows are only for cosmetic features to give passengers who sit nearby comfort. They can take away natural strength attributes of the simple design of a tubular fuselage shape. The need for windows also restricts more complex pressurized fuselage shapes such as full blended wings and flying wings for passenger uses. The deletion of windows will save design, weight and construction costs. Substituting cameras for windows removes many design and construction restrictions currently imposed by the demand for passenger windows.
