Engines,
You seem to be familiar with some of the customer requirements and design trades done on the F-35. I've got a question. The F-35, like the F-16 and F-22 (all Lockheed products) has a one-piece canopy. This resulted in no canopy bow on the F-16 and F-22. But for some reason, the F-35's canopy has a canopy bow. Do you know why? Is it related to the fact that the F-35 canopy hinges at the front when the others hinge at the rear? Or is it for something else?
