Life Saving Aspects of Pilot for Escape Aid Explosive (EAX) System Applications: Some Considerations.

Abstract

This manuscript deals with life saving aspects of the pilot for escape aid explosive (EAX) system applications under emergency situation. During the ejection from the aircraft, the pilot is subjected to the various forces such as linear, angular and transverse accelerations, decelerations, wind drag accelerations, wind blast, dynamic forces, aerodynamic forces, spinning and tumbling. Linear accelerations (decelerations) of major interest in aviation are those of a high magnitude and a short duration that occur in emergency ejection from the aircraft or occasionally in a high altitude at high-speed parachute opening, as they tend to exceed the strength limitations of the skeletal structure of the pilot body. The human body is a heterogeneous mass that is made up of solid, liquid and visco elastic components. The effects of these forces on the pilot's body are crucial in nature and significant pertains to an injury. This article is described with some considerations of ballistics, kinematics with different forces and their effects on the pilot body for aircraft applications during an entire flight trajectory. In conclusion, this kind of study is very essential considering the pilots safety and its performance at low and high altitudes during an emergency.
