In Avengers: Endgame after Thanos arrives and destroys the Avengers base, we see War Machine yell out, "Canopy! Canopy! Canopy!" This appears to be a command which releases him from his suit and allows him to move freely.
My question is what is the significance of the phrase? Why would that specifically be the command to set him free from the suit? Is it based on any real systems or was it a fabrication of the movie?
I realize that's three questions so to summarize, what I really want to know is the origin and significance (if any) of the command.

He was a fighter pilot. In order to enter or exit a jet fighter you must first open the glass "bubble" over the cockpit, which is called the "canopy."

The real world equivalent is pilots saying "Eject, Eject, Eject", either to their backseater, or another pilot who can see that a plane can't be recovered and is using the radio to tell the pilot in it to get out. (Whatever caused the plane to be unrecoverable might have dazed the pilot--he might be functional enough to fire his seat but not functional enough to figure out he should do so.)

I recently saw an (old) video of a magnificent Harrier eject. The aircraft hit the ground at some speed and slid disintegrating with increasing flame for some seconds. Only when the fire was about to completely engulf the cockpit did he eject. Either dazed, 'not paying attention' :-) OR rather brave and hoping against hope to walk away. Given the nasty kick with potential spinal adjustment a walk-away really is desirable. ||

@RussellMcMahon Yeah, ejection seats are powerful enough they inflict some permanent damage when used. You don't want to ride one without a very good reason. The basic problem is the rocket must be powerful enough to make the pilot clear the tail even in a high speed ejection. I wonder if it might be possible to split the rocket into two parts, the first lights when you pull the handle, the second lights either when encountering sufficient wind force or when the first burns out.
– Loren Pechtel

@RussellMcMahon (continued) You can't just omit the second part as you'll need it if it's a ground ejection--the rocket has to carry you high enough for your chute to work, and preferably a bit away from the crash. (Having your chute work but carry you back into the crash site wouldn't be a good thing!)

@RussellMcMahon (continued) You can't just omit the second part as you'll need it if it's a ground ejection--the rocket has to carry you high enough for your chute to work, and preferably a bit away from the crash. (Having your chute work but carry you back into the crash site wouldn't be a good thing!)
