Ejection seat diagram. In this edition of HowStuffWorks, you will learn about the parts that make an ejection seat work, how the seat lifts a pilot out of a plane and about the physics involved in ejecting. The leg restraints keep the legs from flailing in the wind blast of a high speed ejection. Due to the complexities of determining which catagory to place each seat in, the organizition of this page is arbitrary. It replaced an Escapac seat used in the prototypes and early aircraft. This unit contains a description of the various components that make up the B-52G egress systems. If you have an ejection seat or information on Egress Systems, please email me and The ejection seat foot stirrups (Figure Above) consist of two welded frames attached to the front of the ejection seat. The first ejection seat fitted to early F-106s was a variation of the seat used by the F-102 and was called the Weber interim seat. It was a catapult seat which used an explosive charge to propel it clear of the aircraft. Operation of the ejection seat is divided into two phases: primary and secondary operation. This image is a labeled diagram of an aircraft ejection seat, showing its main components and how they are positioned within the cockpit. Each stirrup has a short protruding platform with small vertical edges rising along the outboard side.

(On ACES seats fitted to F-16s and F-22s the ejection control handle is located in the center of the front of the seat bucket) The side pull handles are mechanically linked so that raising one will lift the other as well. The F-16 and the F-22 ACES II seats use a center-pull handle similar to that of the Escapac seats. These systems include the upward ejection system, downward ejection system, and their respective escape hatches. This ejection is based on a 450kts High-Speed Mk18 Ejection Test for the KF-21 Boramae. Learn how a Martin-Baker 5th Generation Escape System works using our interactive ejection sequence. When lowered into position, caps at the top of the seat fitted over the pipes to close them. This version differs from most of the rest of the ACES II seats in the configuration of the main ejection handles. The following are links to pages of photos and details on many different ejection seats. Manual Override The B-52G aircraft is a heavy bomber equipped with six crew stations. Each crew station has its escape hatch and ejection seat.

Primary operation of the seat includes all operating events that occur during the ejection sequence. Cartridges, basically identical to shotgun shells, were placed in the bottom of the pipes, facing upward. Click & drag or use the arrows to progress the sequence. Firing of the seat is normally by pulling one of the ejection control handles mounted on the seat bucket sides. In this system, the seat rode on wheels set between two pipes running up the back of the cockpit. When the TRM actuates the torque link in the seat bucket , the leg line release latches are operated, allowing the leg restraint cones to detach and the leg lines to slip free of the garters and let the crewman separate from the seat. ufij aosns pbcoq ziamwxv ihtaunq leoxh gntx lybv iausy cmlk
