Design, Fabrication, and Testing of the Maximum Performance Ejection System (MPES) Seat Structure.

Abstract

Navy has undertaken an effort to utilize an ejection seat structure composed of aluminum honeycomb sandwich composite material. This report documents the design, fabrication procedures and acceptance testing of the seat structure. Due to higher fabrication costs, tradeoffs between strength, weight, and cost will have to be addressed. (Author)
