Forum: F-22A Raptor

I saw this on the Discovery Channel this weekend and they mentioned that they had used a F-16 canopy, and an F-22 canopy. From what you guys see, does it look like either?

The windscreen looks like an aft transparency from an F-16. I see nothing from an F-22.

I don't see anything from a Raptor either.

That thing looks sweet though, and looks like it'll be fun to ride in! Wonder if it really works?

I quote from the innespace.com website:

What is the Dolphin made from?

The Dolphin's fuselage is made of fiberglass and Kevlar with a urethane foam core. The Dolphin's canopy is made from a half inch thick F-16 Fighter Jet canopy. She is powered by a 110 horsepower Yamaha Waverunner engine and driven through a velvet drive transmission with a 2:1 gear reduction.

Thanks for the link Whity. Checked it out and the video they have on the site. Holy mackerel! Surprised

The thing not only works, it looks FUN! Now I want one! Laughing

Is it an aircraft canopy?
