第四代弹射救生系统技术的验证计划

Fourth Generation Escape System Technologies Demonstration Program

美空军和海军于1992年联合制定了第四代弹射救生系统技术的验证计划,其主要目的是验证可用于扩大救生包线(主要是低空不利姿态和高速状态)的先进技术。该计划验证的主要技术有:可控推进系统,它是控制弹射轨迹的关键技术,以便在低空不利姿态下能够回避地形,特别是在高速弹射时,此项技术还可保持人椅系统的稳定性;高速气流防护装置,可以减少高气动压力对乘员的影响。该计划为期5年。第一阶段将确定第四代弹射救生系统的要求,进行初步设计。

This article briefly describes FGESTDP that is funded jointly by the US-AF and US Navy. The main technology areas of this program are controllable propulsion (both gel and solid propellant) and windblast protection devices . The object of this program is to develop and demonstrate technologies that would enable safe escape from high performance aircraft at speeds up to 787 KEAS (2100 psf dynamic pressure).
