Hybrid wing body airplanes could have many different uses, including as tankers, cargo transporters, command and control planes, bombers, or commercial airliners. There is some worry that because the design doesn't support windows, paying passengers wouldn't want to fly on them. However, there is also some thought that virtual windows could offer a solution to that problem.
