Abstract: An air vehicle has a body and a canopy disposed on the body so as to be able to move relatively to the body and enabling access and providing protection to the cockpit. More than one hook is located on the canopy. More than one pin is located on the body thus enabling the canopy to be fixed to the body by engagement to the book. The canopy has an open position enables access to the cockpit so as to leave a gap between the canopy and the body. The canopy has a closed position in which the canopy contacts the body so that there is almost no gap left between the body and the canopy. The canopy has an locked position in which the canopy is fixed to the body by locking the pin to the hook.

Abstract: The invention relates to a body (2); a canopy (3) disposed on the body (2) so as to be able to move relatively to the body (2), enabling access and providing protection to the cockpit; more than one hook (4) located on the canopy (3); more than one pin (5) located on the body (2), enabling the canopy (3) to be fixed to the body (2) by engaging to the hook (4); an open position (A) enabling access to the cockpit so as to leave a gap between the canopy (3) and the body (2); a closed position (K) in which the canopy contacts the body (2) so that there is almost no gap left between the body (2) and the canopy (3); and a locked position (L) in which the canopy (3) is fixed to the body (2) by locking the pin (5) to the hook (4).
