What is This

This is a concept designed ejection canopy for supersonic aircraft. I saw this concept on an instagram post. The military thought that instead of ejecting just a seat at supersonic speeds, that it would be safer to eject the front of the plane.

Controls

-AG 1
--VTOL down is the flaps
--It activates the engines
-AG2
--Ejects the front of the canopy
-AG 3
--The parachute for the canopy
-AG 4
--VTOL up raises the canopy glass
