@BeerForMyHorses I'm continuing the conversation here as this is the more appropriate thread.The technology going into 5th gen is unreal. Pilots aren't even pilots, they're more just operators at that point.
I sure hope there's still some back up analog gauges being added! Or at least a bunch of redundancy built into the electric system. That bottom picture I'm imagining flying 500 knots, 500 ft AGL, at night, through a mountain valley... with an electrical failure. That's enough to make me suck up the seat cushion!
Our company, Collins Aerospace, is already working on them, here is the F-35 20" Wide-Area display:
Got a chance to play in the mobile demo cockpit many years ago. Also got a chance to fly the F-22 demo cockpit. Had a great job.And here is the F-35 cockpit display:

Who needs a stinkin ejection seat, two great Warthog examples.Oh yeah its expensive to own an aircraft ,best way is have the taxpayers fund your ride if you ever had the rotten luck of having to eject it was called giving it back to the taxpayers ?
I’ll take high any day. Slip, one more notch of flaps if you have them, or go around. Much better than too low.Flying into my home airport. Yes...I'm high on final approach again.
Im sure the kids today love those glass cockpits but nosiree for me analog all the way ,back in the day as a kid and a jr. birdman i used to do cross countrys and my backup was reading the names of the towns an cities off of the feed store roofs! ,one time i missed my checkpoint "horsehead lake" because the wind got crazy and had to swoop down and see where i was ?.With smartphones now you can do everything an e6b, jepper sanderson flight computer ,and all the fancy stuff we had back then, that stuff didnt break or need batteries but the human error was high if you didnt pay attention CAVUAnd here is the F-35 cockpit display:
