This file entry leads on from and related to the Doorly Departed file.

The weather is still crap for everything but ducks, so more numbers have been crunched as ideas and what ifs spring forth from the ether...

This entry looks at a loss of canopy during flight at 100kt.

With the doors already suppressed the canopy was removed and numbers once again put through the magic grinder.

What was revealed... the aircraft will still fly without a front canopy or doors... the turbulent flow within the cockpit is lowered to chest height with the majority of swirl at across the breadth of the rear of the cabin, leaving the occupant's heads above within 50kt fast moving free stream air; very exciting moment requiring good wrap around eyewear... Turbulent air exits the cockpit along the entire rear breadth of the door port out along the empenage, and along with air drawn up from the fuselage belly will shield about 50% of the horizontal stab in very slow moving air; so highly reduced pitch authority would be a highly probable situational expectation.

With only one door departed the above affects are divided to the side of the departed door, leaving the opposite side of the cockpit in fairly calm pool of air.

That's all for now upon a front canopy departing...
