it's one instantiation of a general trend that i feel like has happened more and more over the past half-century across all areas of technology; companies start out by innovating, get big, and then increasingly devote their resources to resisting innovation from outsiders

maybe longer than 50 years but that's when i perceive it as being most acute

arent most modern glass cockpits this way

most modern glass cockpits have several separate displays on different channels, not two large screens up front and nothing else. often they will also have a small section of backup "steam gauge" instruments for the most basic and critical data like airspeed, altitude, angle of attack.

e.g. the f-22 has three large MFDs that are used most of the time, and then four small individual mechanical displays (they take up about the same space as one MFD) down between the pilot's legs for emergency use.

i'm sure the f-35 has software backup systems, but that can get crippled by a bug like, i dunno, the one in the f-22 where the plane's computers all lock up when it cross the international date line. or just one bullet that severs the right connection can disable all of your instruments instantly.

can pilots walk after ejection?

the experience is like being fired out of a gun. the seat is essentially mounted on the barrel of a cannon pointing upwards. pull the handle and you will be 100 feet above the cockpit in under 500 milliseconds

pilots apparently regularly find themselves an inch or two shorter after ejection due to compression of the spinal column, a condition that is sometimes permanent

it's not uncommon for a pilot to be medically unfit for flight after a single ejection, and i think the record is three

his death was one of the few events that spread like crazy in every online community i was in. every loving irc channel and forum was talking about it. judging by online communities only , it was just below 9/11 in importance.

sting rays are the rear end in a top hat rays, manta rays are the cool ones you can pet and touch without being stung or impaled.
