F-14 Tomcat in vertical flight

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American carrier-capable supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, all-weather-capable variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the General Dynamics-Grumman F-111B project. A large and well-equipped fighter, the F-14 was the first of the American Teen Series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.

Airplane canopy opens mid-flight
  • These are extremely rare events. It would be like wearing a helmet in case your windshield fell out. Having some in the cockpit for emergencies could help, but I don't know if it would be possible to put them on while handling said emergency.
