Yes sir and CDT that's right.

the pilot actually operates the plane in the prone position, would that be uncomfortable or more comfortable??

[Xtrarad]

Sir you just beat me to it. CCPL it actually is better when dog fighting since you can take more g load.

yea i knew that much i was just interested as to how comfortable it would be compared to sitting.

[Xtrarad]

I don't know. I prefer laying down than sitting down, i think its preference. There's also down sides to laying down in an aircraft: theres not much room to look above you, i think landing would be a little weird, and if you read about the XP-79 "Flying Ram" its hard to get out of the plane (but that was back in 1945). I would love to see another attempt at it. Like I said its more personal preference and I would prefer the prone position. What do you think would be more comfortable for you?

Well im not sure sitting i suppose because you can look around better and doing things like takeoff and landing wouldn't be so weird but in saying that i have never flown in the cockpit of a plane laying down so its hard to say.

Perhaps CDT Radoll you can take the next turn. Unless anyone else wants a turn
