See how they got around mach 2 ejections on the B-58 Hustler. Check my home
page below and use the link to the "More Aircraft Pictures Annex" there or
use this link to go directly to the annex. You will see some data on the
individual capsules we used for ejection.

My son was asking me about ejecting from jet aircraft. He's 8, and
he's convinced that no matter how fast an airplane is going, it's
possible to eject. I said I didn't think that the guy who was flying
the MiG-25 at Mach 3+ was able to eject from his aircraft with the
runaway engines (if that's what was happening), and that the SR-71
isn't really something you can safely eject from at max speed and
altitude. Any knowledgeable remarks I can pass along to him?
