I still don't get the logic behind using a cockpit designed for two with just one inside. In long range cruise over hours during commercial flights. Just because it is cheaper? Is this the new dogma for commercial aviation? Sounds like a joke. What is taken out next? Fuel reserve? Generators? A second engine?
How about developing a cockpit for one guy first and see how expensive this will be and how reliable it can be made? And then test it over some desert.
