DYNA-SOAR ESCAPE SYSTEM PROPELLANT ACTUATED DEVICES,

Abstract

Propellant actuated devices, originally developed for use in conventional aircraft, were subjected to special vibration tests in order to qualify them for use in the Dyna-Soar (X20) Escape System. Four initiators were developed for use in the system and the ejection seat catapult was tested under high g loads to determine safety of the defice if initiated during high down-load conditions.
