| Subject: | Fwd: Canopy Breaker Tool |
Larry,
Do you know if this is just a chunk of metal or is there some type of spring
loaded pin in it? I have followed a number of threads on this subject on
the VAF forum and one thing that comes up is that when you are upside down,
strapped in the cockpit, there is no room to get a good enough swing at the
canopy to break it.
If this is just an aluminum handle, I wonder if it would work any better
than those orange plastic hammers that Car-and-Driver tested on car windows
and found out they would even bust those.

Subject: Canopy Breaker Tool
Dear Mr. Larry Bowen - RV Builders Group of the Triad
I am writing to you concerning a safety item I have developed for light
aircraft and what your interest would be in providing it for your aviation
operations. It is a Canopy Breaker Tool targeted for aircraft with bubble
canopies, but will obviously work on any type of windscreen or side window
of any aircraft. When I previously flew military fighter aircraft, we
generally had some type of Canopy Breaker Tool installed in the aircraft for
that 'one time event' of being trapped in the cockpit, and the canopy would
not open and all normal means of extrication were exhausted. Having spoken
to many pilots who fly Vans, Light Sport, Aerobatic and some others a
recurring topic is how to get out of an airplane that has upset or the
canopy is jammed from some type of emergency situation. Most agree they
don't have a good plan or tool to use. Reflecting on past experience I have
developed a tool which is light weight (10 ounces, 6" x 1"), strong and is
simply attached to an airframe or seat member in the cockpit near the PIC,
and in an emergency situation it can be easily released and you can break
the canopy and get out of the aircraft quickly.
This Canopy Breaker Tool retails for $39.00. Attached is an overview of the
tool, plus the document that would go into the POH and a picture of the
Canopy Breaker Tool.
Thank you in advance for your time and please let me know your thoughts on
this, and if this is something your customers would like for their own
aircraft for safety and survival.

Ya, thats something to consider. It's just a hunk-o-metal I think. I
haven't studied it too close.
