QUOTE(TROJANMAN @ Apr 1 2010, 02:23 PM)  A bit if trivia.... The first ejection seat was made from a 105mm howitzer shell. The shell casing was fastened to the floor, pointed up, and the projectile was replaced with a rod that attached to the seat. When the pilot pulled the lever, he literally fired himself upwards. They put these in the P-80 shooting star. The two seat versions had a delay, the front seat fired 8 to 10 seconds after the rear because if it fired first, it would kill the rear seat pilot with the exploding instrument panel. Later ones were made by the British company "Martin Baker"... thus pilots in VietNam were known to be members of the "Martin Baker Fan Club". I have the strangest bits of trivia bouncing around in my skull. |
