This is a Scale Wind Tunnel Ejection Seat Model of the 4th Generation Ejection Seat by McDonnell Douglas. This is a much newer seat design, ca late 1990's +.
The seat included arm netting for anti-flail and a wind foil above the helmet to keep the head steady. The biggest improvement was in the propulsion and guidance. It was capable of zero-zero ejections and low level inverted escapes.
This model is about 23" tall and solid aluminum, cast in one piece! It weighs 74 pounds.
This made my "cool" list....
Very cool!!
Fantastic....love it!!!...:-)))
This is a lot more intricate than the previous & that detail must have cost. Glad you saved these! These aren't the kind of things I expected inky to clk. on. Women! Go figure!
Way beyond cool! Great save, flogger!
