Precision head tracking software will allow pilots to
"see through" the cockpit floor
, with infra-red images of the
ground below, during day or night time, being beamed in front of
their eyes.


That "heads-UP" display is so twentieth-century!

Seriously, this virtually-transparent cockpit thing just sounds
pretty amazing.
(well, at least "transparent" for a fair part of the surface
area of the cockpit, apparently)

Indeed it does...the pilot will now have dramatically increased vision and perspective.  There will be fewer ways that Muhammed can hide now   :-)

Muhammed: "Okay, Achmed, let's jump into this trench to hide from the infidel!"

RAF pilot: "If you try to run and hide, you'll only die tired"

Actually, this technology has been around since the mid 70s.
