Radar and other instruments need to go at the front.
Also, glass windscreens are a liability - I imagine damage caused by FOD impact kicked-up on the runway during takeoff to a glass nose would be far more expensive than whatever material they use today is.
- GordonS 6y agoEven a fake, electronic window fed from an outdoor camera would be pretty cool.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoThe IFE screens can show nose (and tail, and wing) cameras though. I haven't been on a plane that had a projection screen at the front of the cabin in almost 20 years now...
