Background of canopy development and inherent conflict between good aerodynamic contours and superior optics, discussed; fabrication techniques and plastic sheet utilized during war and their limitations; details of new and proved method for manufacturing canopies having both aerodynamic and optical excellence; method, called rotoforming, is based on use of centrifugal force instead of hydrostatic pressure as in free blowing.
