Automatic Ejection Seats Are Successful Tests
The Air Force announced four volunteers successfully tested downward automatic ejection seats from a jet bomber over the Gulf of Mexico. Seventeen jumps were made from an R47 bomber at 10,000 feet, with trials conducted at Elgin Field, Florida. The system, designed for B47 and B52 aircraft, uses a mounted rail and cartridge to drive the seat downward, then deploys the parachute automatically.
