Multiple Ejection Effects Analysis

Abstract

Wind tunnel data for the ACES-B1 ejection seat in the presence of the B-1 forebody are documented and analyzed. Significant aerodynamic interactions exist at high speed between dual seats and between seat/forebody. Trajectory data are presented with and without the forebody effect upon the seat. The forebody flow field is shown to increase the human engineering/biomechanical problems during high-speed ejection.
