The Ejection Seat Test Database: A Resource for Enabling Aircrew Safety and Survivability

Abstract

The Biomechanics Branch of AFRL has developed an Ejection Seat Test Database to collect, organize, and make this data useful for comparing and improving ejection seats and life support equipment. The queryable Database contains records such as photos, videos, test reports, flight equipment, and other test parameters from hundreds of ejection tests. This database is currently available to government personnel through a web interface and will help provide historical performance data to compare with future ejection seat and life support equipment testing.
