dc.description.abstract	For some time now, it has been recommended that mechanical assistance be incorporated in jettisonable cockpit-hood designs. Some firms have preferred designs in which the hood is constrained to rotate through a definite angle before the final release. A short series of tests has, therefore, been made in the 24-ft Wind Tunnel to determine the optimum angle for release. This was found to he about 10 deg, which is considerably less than has been suggested in the past.	en_US
