Investigation of Minimum Sized Low-Profile Cockpits (MSLPC) and Crew Escape System Integration.

Abstract

Assessed are the potential benefits derived from the application to advanced fighter aircraft configurations and the integration of an effective crew escape capability. Alternate approaches and escape concepts were identified and subjected to analysis and tradeoff to permit the recommendation of preferred concepts. The computer simulation of escape system aerodynamic performance facilitated the evaluation leading to the selection of the supine concept as that preferred for further development as a preliminary design.
