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)

Seriously, this virtually-transparent cockpit thing just sounds
pretty amazing. 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.
