A bubble canopy is a Canopy made like a soap Bubble , which attempts to provide 360° vision to the pilot. HISTORY Bubble canopies have been in use since World War II . The British already had the "Malcolm hood" which was a bulged canopy but the British Miles M.20 was one of the first aircraft designs to feature a true bubble canopy and although it never went into production the idea was used for other British fighters. It was also taken on by the US for the P-51 Mustang and P-47 Thunderbolt among others. EXAMPLES |
