Mu17 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Yes that canopy is unacceptable by todays standards. As for weird, its origins go back to glider designer Felix Kracht and the DFS54 a similar looking high altitude sailplane with pressure cabin - the inspiration being several deaths at heights of ocer 30,000 feet at the 1938 Rhon gliding competition. The DFS54 morphed into the Walter powered reconnaissance DFS228 which is said to have been the inspiration for the Lockheed U2. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
