Thanks Nozzles for a very interesting post.
I definately agree that the new generation will take to this new technology like a duck to water. This brings up an interesting point about having senior pilots being used in the design process.
I think we are still being constrained by past designs and believe in a ground up - totally revolutionary concept for new flight decks.
The Harrier is certainly a good example of how a revolutionary concept can flourish. They must have been great to fly too.
