The Air Research and Development Center tests low-level ejection seats at 500 feet and from ground level at Wright Field

The video tutorial discusses low-level ejection from aircraft, focusing on the separation of the seat from a dummy and the subsequent parachuting process. The study, conducted by the Air Research and Development Center, uses slow-motion cameras to analyze the operation. A second test from ground level is also shown, highlighting the immediate separation of the dummy and seat, followed by parachute deployment. The tests aim to improve safety for pilots ejecting at low altitudes, with Air Force technicians continuing these life-saving evaluations.
