The descendant of the Stratofighter [link] : see how much the overall envergure has been reduced thus making of the fighter a far smaller target; reinforced crew compartment also provides much better protection for the pilot; made with pencil in 1996
No, I thought that because space combat occurs at great distances and immense speeds, direct visual contact is irrelevant, therefore it is safer to put the crew compartment deep inside the unit instead of making it reachable from the outside – pilot training is costy, as you probably know... ;]
