Estimation of Dynamic (Windblast) Pressure on Aircrewman Ejection Systems.

Abstract

This report is intended to help designers and engineers, primarily involved in the design of aircraft ejection systems, understand and estimatewindblast pressure. Effects of windblast pressure are addressed fr a range of sonic velocities. Windblast pressure curves of various altitudes are included. (Author)
