Guys, check out the cockpit.
I know technology is wildly advanced and he probably has a 360 view now, but other than test pilots, who are you going to get to fly a plane that lacks a forward view?
With that speed you aren't able to react to anything visible in the flightpath anyway 💨
It's not supersonic during landing or taxing, which I guess is when a direct view would be more useful.
I wasn't serious.
