Thank you for your reply. I understand the healthy skepticism on whether efforts are misplaced or not, hence, my research in the area. I'm just an undergrad student in engineering so no where near the point of being a change-maker...yet.  :) The sparse information I refer to are specifically...

Thank you very much for this! This is very helpful as a new potential source.

I definitely have looked into Martin-Baker, the marketing stuff really looks nice but an examination at the number they posted on the g's felt by the pilot while ejecting is enough to make the case for improvement. Essentially, most of the g's felt from the ejection blast are near 15 and that's...

Thanks for the recommendation, I am trying to go through school channels as well but I suppose this is my jab in the dark out of frustration at the slowness from all the bureaucracy of proper channels. Needless to say, people are sensitive and defensive when they think their existing...

Not so much issue with it's ability to basically separate the pilot from the craft, but more so with the potential damages to the pilot during the process. It's like saying: CPR will save a person's life, but it probably will break a few ribs, so how do I save a life without breaking ribs

Haha...the real technical aspects (mechanism and physics) is not the issue here, it is my area and there are real military tech. engineers who are pretty welcoming to next gen. engineers. I'm actually hoping for a subjective view from a pilot. Sitting in a room with computer simulations and...

Hi! Not sure if it's too abrupt to post in here like this but here I go. I'm a university engineering student doing a project on injury prevention mechanism design and fighter jet ejection seats have recently became the focus of my research. There are a lot of risks associated with the...
