This layout is going to make it very hard to figure out how to eject the pilot in an emergency, although looking at the cutaway, it appears that the whole forward fuselage is a escape capsule, with the parachute installed above the pilot’s feet.

Feet? So either he lands headfirst, or the risers attach at the nose proper and must be trusted to unfurl without fouling. Sounds sketchy either way.
