Various approaches were examined for a possible solution to the light-reflection problem inside the Model 209 AH-IS helicopter cockpit with the flat-plate canopy (FPC). A computer program was developed to identify primary light reflections inside the FPC at the pilot's eye position. Modifying the side panels on the FPC with curved surfaces may be the only satisfactory solution to the inside light-reflection problem. (Author)
