@MousedaDrumma ...actually you are thinking of the Martin Baker system that used to be in the F-4. The ACES II system only has a rocket catapult (which the seat is mounted to) which consist of multiple pancake charges inside of the assembly. and a vernier rocket mounted to the bottom of the seat which rotates back and forth to keep the seat upright.

Yeah, for tax reasons.. many other cool stuff is built over here too e.g. parts for the F35 and Airbus A380 etc.. most space companies are over here too like ASI optics because of the 0% tax on the space industry =D

Really?!...That's where Martin-Baker is located?

Built on the isle of Man :)

yes yes, the initial movement is from the catapult the seat bucket is mounted on which raises it upwards aprox 72 inches, then the rocket motor underneath (has about 8 conjoined CAD rockets on the bottom which fire off and detach from the catapult send ing the ejection seat as high into the air as need be based on sensors. and these things are built for zero altitude zero airspeed. so you can survive on the ground getting launched. but you will pass out cause youll pull a shit ton of g's....

lol how else is the seat meant to eject without rockets? did u think the pilot just does a leg squat and propels himself out the cockpit?
-

@Wkern07 If you're going Mach 1 and eject...your in for a world of hurt...more than likely your left leg is going to whip around the back of the seat and tap you on your right shoulder...
