Is it possible for a plane to use cameras and screens instead of a clear windshield? I was just wondering: is it possible to have a commercial plane with no cockpit windshield, just external cameras and video screens?

The question come in my mind after reading the nth occurrence of laser in pilot's eyes. Moreover, a structure without windscreen is surely lighter: when there are not passenger, we avoid to put windows! Which are the limits and the opportunities to this solution?

With "ever" I don't mean "in centuries" but in 30/40 years.
It's entirely possible to do this now, it's simply not a good idea. The drawbacks to safety outweigh the benefits of doing so. If you have no cockpit windows an electrical or systems failure would leave pilots totally blind, without any references whatsoever. The "mark I eyeball" works in a wide variety of conditions and does not require electrical power of any kind. Plus, there's usually 4 of them in the cockpit, and chances are at least one of them will work.
