dc.description.abstract	The effect of changes in the shape of the windscreen on the drag of a cockpit canopy has been measured on models in free flight. Canopies were attached to the models by means of a flexible mounting in such a way as to allow the canopy drag to be measured directly. The drag of the canopy was measured over a range of Mach numbers between 0.85 and 1.55 and the results show the improvements to be obtained by variations in the sweep of a vee windscreen and changes in the angle of a sloping windscreen.	en_US
