2. Canopy Description and Operation
Figure 1 shows the canopy installation.
The canopy is a CFRP molding with inner and outer frames. The frames bond together with thickened
resin. Each part of the frame has layers of carbon cloth and one layer of glass cloth. Areas of high
stress have extra layers of carbon cloth. Mounting bushes for the handle and locking bolts bond to the
inside of the frame with thickened resin.
The canopy has a large one-piece acrylic glass window. A special flexible adhesive bonds the window
to the canopy frame. A flexible filler seals the small gap between the edge of the window and the
frame.
The window has a direct vision panels on each side. You can open the direct vision panels in flight.
Refer to Chapter 56-00 for data about the window.
The canopy attaches to a tubular steel frame at the front (the hinge frame). The frame attaches to two
hinges on the rear face of the instrument panel frame. A gas spring strut attaches to the hinge frame
and the bottom of the instrument panel frame. The canopy moves up and forward to open. The gas
spring strut holds the canopy open.
The canopy has two tubular brackets on the front edge of the canopy frame. Two bolts attach each
bracket to the canopy frame. You can remove the canopy by removing these bolts.
