This study presents the development and production of a half scale forward canopy to integrate bird strike protection fo the T-38 aircraft. Actual half scale T-38 forward canopy fabrication process and production procedures are included. Forward canopy cross sections that should provide the desired bird strike protection level as recommended by the Univ of Dayton Research Institute and PPG Industries, Inc. are included. A detailed final report on the T-38 Clear Path Egress (CPE) System which includes technology assessment and concept review of six systems is also included. Integration of the forward canopy, the T-38 airframe, and thru-the-canopy (TTC) escape capability systems have been mechanically and economically considered. Keywords: Aircraft canopies fabrication; Jet training aircraft; Bird strikes protection; Polycarbonate laminates; Shielded mild detonating cord; Linear shaped charges; Pin pull system; Sill cutting system; Escape systems.
