In article , Roger says...


It would need a hair trigger and quite possibly eject the whole driver
enclosure instead of just a seat. Unfortunately that didn't work well
for the XB70 the only time it was needed.

Similar rig in the B-58 worked alright. The one in the F-111 worked very well,
and there are
probably a couple 800 kt. ejections at nought feet in its history.

I would agree with the poster (was it you?) that suggested an aerodynamicist
might be a useful
team member.
