How safe are bubble canopies?


Recommended Posts

have always wondered how these low to the ground canopies go when hitting a wire fence. Have always like tubular steel construction, bu i guess theres pluses and minuses to each different construction method.

Scott,As safe as the pilot who makes the landing or the force landing.

 

I have a bubble canopy in the Tecnam and I am as comfortable in that as I am in my car with a "bubble" canopy/cabin.

 

Choice is easy high wing or low wing they both will have pro's and con's just up to you to decide.

Hi Scott,

The Golf I learned to fly in did not have side access doors or roll down windows like my car with a "bubble "canopy/cabin- rather it was a slide action which would be pretty difficult to work upside down with the weight of the plane on it.
