Military Aircraft Cockpits: A Cruise into the past
Aviatophobia – perhaps,
this is a term that infuriates me the most when a supersonic jet passes
overhead. Thrill rollercoaster of flying above clouds rises to new heights until
the aircraft goes beyond horizon leaving my dream unfructified. But, recent
edition of Lockheed Martin’s Code One Magazine tries to show those infinite heights
through his eyes. The new edition carrying a special 'Cockpit' issue features
photographs of cockpits of around 32 military airplanes which includes MB-2, F-117,
etc. Throwing light on brilliant features of F-117, the article (here) writes
that it’s the world’s first operational stealth aircraft which can’t be tracked
on radar. Loaded with highly lethal weaponry, the plane comes with a high accuracy
and destruction. Plastic glareshield extensions and F/A-18 displays make the cockpit
more eminent and efficient.
