It gives meaning to the automotive term "cockpit". Looks to be hard on the driver's knees, though.

They forgot the all important 'yaw string' indicator...
Pop quiz....how many know what that is ???
F-14 pilots wouldn't launch without one...
HINT: Watch the "Top Gun" flight sequences that show the cockpit from the front and you'll see them in action!

I was watching a show this past weekend about the worlds smallest planes.
Guy had a string tied to what appeared to be a short antenna on one of those chainsaw engine helicopters.
