Pitot system for early ejection mode detection
11827366 · 2023-11-28 · ·

An ejection seat may comprise a seatback, a headrest located at an upper end of the seatback, and a pitot tube rotatably coupled to the headrest. A pitot restraint assembly may be operably coupled to the pitot tube. The pitot restraint assembly may be configured to translate between a restrained state and a released state. The pitot tube may rotate from a stowed position to a deployed position in response to the pitot restraint assembly translating to the released state.

Ejection mode verification system

A system for ejection mode verification may comprise: a first ejection seat; a second ejection seat; an ejection mode selector; and a controller configured to: compare a desired ejection mode with a selected ejection mode; and command an indicator to turn “ON” or “OFF” in response to comparing the desired ejection mode with the selected ejection mode.

Sensor-based ejection initiation system

A method for sensor-based ejection of an aircraft occupant from an aircraft may comprise: receiving, via a processor and through a sensor, an ejection command from the aircraft occupant; comparing, via the processor, the ejection command to a predetermined ejection command; determine, via the processor, whether the ejection command matches the predetermined ejection command; and commanding, via the processor, initiation of an ejection event in response to the ejection command matching the predetermined ejection command.

Automatic ejection seat performance optimization based on detection of aircrew weight

A system for automatic optimization of an ejection system for an aircraft includes the ejection system having a plurality of adjustable settings. The system further includes a sensor configured to detect weight data corresponding to a weight of a user of the ejection system. The system further includes a controller coupled to the ejection system and to the sensor and configured to adjust at least one of the plurality of the adjustable settings of the ejection system based on the weight data.
