Looks coincidental to me, it’s just a large bulbous compartment on top of what would otherwise look like a regular planes nose. Be interesting to hear interviews though, I wouldn’t be surprised if an external party to the design team discovered the similarity, I work with aerospace engineer’s and they are typically so in the weeds and technical that I would actually be shocked if they realized the similarity before someone else pointed it out. Not trying to throw shade or anything, incredibly smart and educated folks.
