Pilot Escape Capsule: Details of the Chance Vought Integrated Capsule System at Present Under Development

Abstract

FOR many years it has been appreciated that the ejector scat does not provide a complete answer to the problem of escape from aircraft flying at supersonic speeds. Many ingenious escape devices have been suggested which will protect the pilot or aircrew member during the critical periods of deceleration and descent and most of them have involved the use of a capsule enclosure.
