I believe this would be a reference to fighter jets, and yes, they are armored.

As far as I know, the cockpits are the only armored sections, and not all of them are.

P.S. So knowing that pilots took longer to train than it did to build an aircraft, could the idea have been to kill the pilot so he couldn't eject and mount up in another jet?
