Junkers G.38 flying wing concept. All passenger accomodations would have been placed within the aircraft's wings with forward facing windows. A twin boom design with two engines in pusher configuration was also envisioned.

I would just like to comment that although the G38 is almost always described as a flying wing - it was no such thing.
It had a thick wing with conventional tail - my point is that Junkers had not, as far as I know, made any in dcepth studies of the stability and control of a true nurflugel / all wing. Ony one tailless proiject is known and I am not aware of fundamentaly studies being reported.
