LSP_Ray Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Would be pretty exciting bailing out of that sucker - or the Gotha Go 60 above. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Gotha, everything is sad, but what about Horten’s cabin, in the description for the project it looks something like this. I apologize for the possibly incorrect translation from German to English. (To my shame, I don’t know ideally either one or the other...) Quote " The pilot cabin is designed ala Panser pressure cabin and attached to the structures with 4 points. The pilot in a knisendlingen arrangement with an upper body angle of 30-35 to the direction of the flight has a clear view to the front through a full-width cannel. He also has a field of vision to the rear and sides and on the wings. The previous experiences with this pilot arrangement are good. Flight lasting more than10 hours of this required less physical effort from the pilot than in a normal position. The emergency exit for cabin is designed in such a way that it slides out with its carrycot down to the rear and is immediately free from an aircraft. There are no tail organs present that would hinder the jump." D Bellis, dutik, LSP_Ray and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 So, the pilot drops down and out, possibly with a part of the cockpit? That would be better, definitely having no tailplane would make bailing safer. upor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
