Q: What is the purpose of the “Mirror-Thing” over the Mig-29 Cockpit?

The runway is projected on a second mirror inside the cockpit (that's why it's named a periscope and not a mirror): Note how the projected part of the image fits very well into the direct view of the exterior. An opening is created in the canopy when the top mirror is deployed. From below this is what it looks like (not exactly the same model): The bottom mirror unfolds down to instructor eyes height: * |
