On the topic of a Canopy that is jettisonable...



Apart from the mechanism required, I wonder about three things:  One is

whether

it really offers options in the light aerobatic flying this plane is approved

for and:  Two is whether it wouldn't introduce significant risk of injuring

occupants as it departs the airframe, possibly hitting you or your passenger.

And the third is whether you would have enough time to get out anyway given

seat

belts, and sitting position.
