[QUOTE=Brit55]This story is a shot across the bow of the US Administration and hopefully, they'll take it seriously.

Tim M,
The study for Navalising Typhoon did not suggest that we should run out and do it, far from it actually. A lack of visibility from the cockpit whilst on approach was certainly an issue and I don't buy into using a camera on approach in any weather!....

There seems to be little cockpit visibility difference between a Typhoon and a Rafale on first inspection. Also I thought the new 'smart cockpits meant that you never ever had to look out of them other than to admire the view.
