The main circuit was smashed because the cover flexed so much it was pushed
into
the circuit and so broke it. A stiff cover may have transmitted more shock but
the
circuit would have remained intact. A cover should be a lot cheaper to replace
than
a main circuit board.
No, the covers are plastic because they are cheaper to make IMO.
The pilot of an A10 is apparently protected from ground fire by a sort of
bathtub
made of titanium.
