Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Full-Scale F-101 Ejection Seat with an Anthropomorphic Dummy at Free-Stream MACH Numbers from 0.2 to 0.8

Abstract

A test was conducted in the wind tunnel to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a full-scale F-101 ejection seat occupied by an anthropomorphic dummy at free-stream Mach numbers of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. Angle of attack was varied from -45 to +90 deg, and angle of yaw was varied from 0 to +45 deg, depending on the angle of attack. The model was observed particularly directional and lateral stability near zero angle of yaw.
