A package of computer programs has been developed for use in helicopter canopy design. The programs compute point-wise measures of three important design factors for the transparent surfaces of an attack helicopter canopy. These factors are: (1) the internal glare; (2) the external glint; and (3) the optical distortions exhibited by the canopy design. The programs have been applied to modifications in the present canopy design on the YAH-64 Advanced Attack Helicopter. The results suggest that reduced internal glare is possible with slight additional glint and distortion by displacing the side windows 4 inches from the plane of the frame vertices and rotating the axis of curvature of the top window by 90 degrees and displacing it 1.5 inches.
