Aircraft canopy jettison systems, apparatus, and methods are described herein. An example aircraft includes a forward fuselage defining a cockpit, a seat in the cockpit, a pivot pin coupled to the forward fuselage, and a canopy removably coupled to the forward fuselage over the cockpit. The canopy includes a frame having a hinge portion. The hinge portion includes a cam. The cam is dimensioned such that when the canopy is jettisoned while the aircraft is at zero altitude and zero airspeed, a travel path of the hinge portion does not intersect a travel path of the seat when the seat is ejected while the aircraft is at zero altitude and zero airspeed.
