Physiological Acceptability Tests of the SJU-5/A Ejection Seat - Second Physiological Acceptance Demonstration.

Abstract

This program was conducted to evaluate solutions to deficiencies of the F18 Aircraft Martin-Baker SJU-5/A escape system which had been identified during the initial Physiological Acceptability Demonstration (Report No. NADC-79040-60). The proposed solutions evaluated during this program included: incorporation of 'toe guides' on the rudder pedals, relocation of the head rest, modification of the back support, and incorporation of leg garters into the anti-'G' suit. Of these, the head rest and back support still require additional modification. Upon satisfactory correction of the head rest and back support deficiencies, physiological acceptance of the F18 escape system will be recommended for the pilot's station. (Author)
