cockpit's

Belonging to controls

The possessive form of cockpit, the enclosed area where a pilot controls an aircraft or where a driver sits in a racing vehicle.

Originally the pit where cockfights took place, the word now typically refers to control spaces: The cockpit's instruments glowed in the darkness.

The cockpit's design prioritizes visibility.
