ABSTRACT:
An improved cockpit area for manned atmospheric or space vehicles includes a generally spherical, multi-axis G-compensating cockpit capsule which houses the crewmen, together with the appropriate operational and navigational instruments and the mechanisms necessary for controlling the vehicle and which is rotatably mounted in the vehicle and is controllable by the crewman to permit the crewman direct visual observation throughout virtually a full circle about the vehicle, without altering the course of the vehicle, together with a device for automatically rotating the capsule to minimize the effect of high G-forces on the crewmen, and an emergency mechanism for ejecting the capsule, with the crewmen therein, and for protecting the crewmen during and after descent and landing of the capsule.
