How do you build a fighter jet canopy that offers perfect optical clarity yet shatters instantly to save the pilot's life? This episode reveals the specialized manufacturing process of the MiG-29 Fulcrum's bubble canopy.
We follow the journey from raw acrylic to a life-saving safety system:
• Thermoforming: Watch as high-strength acrylic sheets are heated and molded into the iconic bubble shape without distorting the pilot's vision.
• Precision Polishing: The laborious process of polishing the surface to eliminate microscopic imperfections and ensure zero optical distortion.
• Explosive Cord Integration: The critical installation of the Miniature Detonating Cord (MDC) – the zigzag pattern of explosives embedded in the glass that shatters the canopy milliseconds before ejection.
See the delicate balance between structural integrity and emergency escape engineering.
