In order in the case of a cockpit for a helicopter, which is provided with a skeleton, which consists of hollow sectional parts (20-38) connected to one another in a dimensionally stable manner and bounds the door and window segments (16, 18) of the cockpit, and with an outer covering (6, 10), and which, in view of the fact that aircraft are manufactured in relatively limited numbers, is usually produced for reasons of cost using a differential form of construction, to achieve a cockpit design that is not only weight- saving but also more favourable in terms of overall cost, at least the hollow sectional parts embracing the cockpit segments (16, 18) are produced according to the invention as an integral, spatially closed carrier sectional structure (4A, 4B) in such a way that they are formed and hardened jointly from fibre composite or superplastically workable metal in a form tool having mould faces corresponding to the sectional shape of the hollow sectional parts around the cockpit segments. …IMAGE…
