I guess that’s the price you pay for not having fuel sloshing around under your feet.

Having self-sealing breakaway fuel tanks on the outside of the cabin structure has many benefits, not the least of which comes into play should you ever have the misfortune to experience an in-airframe drop test of the fuel system.

Of course, if you want to see what’s directly below you, you could always use the FLIR, look out of the door, the bubble windows and even the ramp.

A ramp, now there’s a novel idea......
