I think a kind synthetic vision for landing instead of the droop nose was envisaged at one time for the B2707 , or for later boeing sst studies ::[ATTACH=full]648908[/ATTACH]Could only found that image. No sure at all if the technology mature enough at the time, to be practical and certified...What's sure is that a retractable camera was to be under fuselage , behind the nose gear, for help taxying. The cockpit being so far forward of the nose landing gear, while turning on a taxiway the crew would have been over grass for example, not seeing clearly if the nose gear was still going to roll on solid ground.The Republic F-103 also was to have a periscope for forward vision I think.
