Canopy impact strength?

A little off topic and not a Hawk, but some very graphic recent canopy tests for the F1 racing cars of the future. I post this link to show some of the work still going on for safety in all areas of high speed endeavour.


This looks like full canopy would survive a bird strike at circuit speed.

I hope the RAFAT FDR gives some info, I understand the Reds have a limited FDR fit.


Take care.
