Default 'Canopy Wire Deflector Bars' - Past experience and current thinking

does anybody have a viable design that will work with a modern sailplane?


Pure speculation.

For light gauge electric horse coral wires... Maybe a firmly mounted 'hook knife'mounted on a 12" whip to the fuselage just in front of the canopy might catch and cut wires (more often than not). Integrate it into an externally mounted Powerflarm antenna. Mount two. One on either side to get the sight blocking off center and gain redundancy (redundant antennas and cutter).


Why would you do that when there is technology that is demonstrated to work already in existence- and not ugly and dangerous to line crew also?
