Eglin F-35 crash


Recommended Posts

The ACES 2 and canopy jettison as part of the ejection sequence has worked great (including 0/0) on the Viper for decades. The B-mode added an auto-eject/reduced ejection time requirement in case of engine/lift fan failure during critical points of VTOL ops. So, the A/C now needlessly have Det cord and a canopy bow because of the B-model. 
 

I’m liking “Phantom 3” more every day.

Have you ever talked to the guys who work for contractors? Especially the small boutique ones that have a monopolistic sole-source contract for 100% of some random base function? Like when CE tells you they can’t fix something without a specific company present because otherwise it’s a contract violation.
 

All those companies are run by ex-SNCOs.

T-7 has det coord because the side opening canopy cant just blow away.

Why can't a side-opening canopy use a traditional jettison?  Here's four examples.
