Additional Information
Americans also have fought for better visibility from the cockpit the Mustang. Because in battle it means a lot: the one who spotted the enemy first, gets a huge advantage. A requirement was made to ensure a 360 ° unobstructed view. November 17, 1943 to test out a modified P-51 b-1 with cut fairing, and a brand new lamp. The remaining almost unchanged old visor was combined with the rear section in the form of a huge bubble without covers. It did not recline sideways, and moved back on three guides - two on the sides and one on the axis of the aircraft. The radio antenna stretched between the top of the keel and the frame behind the headrest of the pilot's seat. When the rear section of the lantern was moved, the antenna slid through the sleeve in the hole made in it. Another antenna, rigid xiphoid, placed on top of the rear fuselage. When designing a new lantern designers had to solve two important tasks: to ensure the rigidity of the plastic "bubble" and maintain good aerodynamics of the fuselage. The contours of the sliding section were selected after repeated purges in the wind tunnel from the condition of creating a minimum resistance. Under the new lamp in the cockpit became more spacious, and the review has improved many times. Here is so "Mustang" has acquired its neural characteristic ethos.
