A comprehensive group of appropriate open ejection seats, encapsulated ejection seats, cockpit pod capsules, separable nose capsules, and subsystems are described. The descriptions provide information on items such as initiation, crew positioning and restraint, emergency pressurization and oxygen, seat-man separation, capsule separation, rocket motors, rocket catapults, stabilization, deceleration, recovery parachute, landing impact attenuation, flotation, location aids, and survival equipment or provisions. Information is also provided on escape system performance, tests, accelerations experienced, stability characteristics, trajectories, escape time sequence, envelope dimensions, weights, production or development status, and projected system improvements.
