Computer Simulation of Ejection Seat Performance and Preliminary Correlation with Empirical Data
Abstract
The comparison of six-degree-of-freedom computer program modeling ejection seat performance to empirical data from ejection seat track tests is discussed. The computer subroutines model the ejection seat components which generate forces on the seat and crewperson combination during ejection. The resulting motion described in terms of trajectory parameters, as well as acceleration time histories on the ejectee is correlated with measured data from recent Air Force track test programs in which ejection seat performance was determined.
