    Ejecting from the F16

    *** Posted by Chris Duprow ***
    This question is in regards to a F-16 pilot having to Egress, what is the after math of the egress on the pilots body, Ive herad the pilot can recieve some 25 G's of spine commpression from th Ejection, and how many seconds does it take,from the Eject handle being pulled till the chute opens, lets say if you have a Flame-Out on take-off?

    Ejection seats of today are more gentle on your body. In the ACES II which is the seat of the F16 you only pull 14 G's which ofcourse can be harmfull if you are not sitting in the right position. Other stuff that can cause severe damage to your body is windblast if you are going fast. Think about sticking your head out of the window on a car going 500 miles per hour. That hurts.
    In the ACESII seat it takes 1.8 seconds from you pull the handle till you have a full chute.

    Regards RUN

    Isnt it a matter of the fact that the earlier seats was blasted out with one big BANG, wich later was reconstructed to several smaller blasts following each other, and that the latest seats are rocket propelled.
    Seeing older pictures and films of ejects, the blast is very clear, while simular from modern ejects are kicked out with a tail of fire under the seat!?

    Yes exactly, which also means it is more gentle on the body ;o)

    [I'm a mechanical Engg student Mad about airplanes ,specially fighter.
    Could anyone provide a scale drawing of F-16 so that I can make a model. I've been F-16 snaps and measuring each and every thing but it's very very tedious also sometimes get different length for the same part.
    I'll be very very thankful to u
