May 17, 2018 - Cockpit Considerations
After a much needed hiatus, work began today on cockpit design. A mock-up of the seat was placed on the frames (see slideshow and video) and the seat-back pitch was determined. The seat will be cold-formed on the vacuum press and before this could the done, corner blocks defining the curvature of the seat-back needed to be built. These blocks will be attached at the next session.
Work also began on the control panel. Panel design for the Flyer is discretionary so the design shown in the slideshow, although functional and consistent with other designs we have seen, may be tentative.
