Steen Aero Lab - Aircraft Products

Perhaps the cutest explanation for the AV-8 designation is that some clever Marine Corps officer realized that it sounded like "aviate." And that's probably the only time I'll ever be able to use "Marine Corps" and "cute" in the same sentence!

Bubble Canopies


The streamlined canopy on our Skybolt not only provides great visibility, but streamlines the airplane to allow us to cruise at 180mph.		The canopy is well balanced and allows easy ingress.

The canopy has a sturdy welded steel frame.		Quick-release latches allow the canopy bubble to be separated from the frame.
		Steen Aero Lab provides complete canopy systems. The bubbles are supplied by Airplane Plastics - the best available anywhere!
