ejection seat
Sinônimos
ejector seat
Definição1
A seat, normally fitted on combat aircraft, that permits the occupant to be ejected out of the vehicle in the case of any serious emergency that necessitates abandoning the vehicle. The seat is ejected by an explosive charge (i.e., cartridge or rocket). The occupant is separated from the seat normally automatically or, in some cases, manually. The parachute, thereafter, deploys at a preset height.

Contexto
Many military aircraft are fitted with ejection seats and other hazardous material, e.g., bombs or chemicals.
Civil aircraft crash investigators and emergency responders may, therefore, commonly come into close proximity with cockpit escape equipment and ejector seats and, as a result, be subject to associated hazards.
