Reminded me of De Havilland Comet

On: Airbus Planning Transparent Planes

They had crashes that were traced to structural failure of the airframe. The windows shape supposedly caused the fatigue.

I would think that lcd projection onto the ceiling of the cabin would provide a similar experience if tied to a camera mounted on the airframe.

I used to work for Idleaire Technologies and they had 130 or so locations across the USA that all did this. There were racks in the Equipment building that had banks of Satellite tuners which fed into individual modulators then out to distribution amplifiers/ combiners. This system seemed to work well... The only real issue was the heat generated by the tuners.

This might be what you want....
