Velocity Tolerance of Escape Systems.

Abstract

Eighty-four (84) Air Force escape system tests were analyzed for velocity tolerance. The target velocity should not be stated in terms of per cent. This practice has led to some serious under testing of maximum velocities. The velocity tolerance is essentially independent of the magnitude of the velocity. A velocity tolerance of plus/minus 23.5 KEAS(Knots Equivalent Air Speed) will prevent excessive over or under testing.
