More likely I'd say that critical aircraft systems will be armored 
generally. Take the armored tub in the Sturmovik and A-10. Given the 
all around nature of aircraft threats, those critical components 
(Pilot, engines, electronics) are going to be given armor and 
protection in an all around fashion if at all. At least for a ground 
attack aircraft.
