  • Publication number: 20240076045
    Abstract: A parachute assembly may comprise a canopy and one or more reefing lines. The one or more reefing lines may limit inflation of the canopy to attenuate impulse load or otherwise mitigate forces exerted by the parachute assembly on cargo or an occupant during deployment of the canopy. The one or more reefing lines may be broken in stages to selectively limit inflation of the canopy followed by selectively permitting inflation of the canopy in stages.

  • Publication number: 20240076048
    Abstract: A roll stabilization system for an aircraft ejection seat may be provided. An integral seat sequencer may activate an ejection sequence causing an aircraft ejection seat to be ejected from an aircraft. In various instances, particularly with lighter occupants of the aircraft ejection seat, the aircraft ejection seat may begin a rotational movement. To ameliorate this rotational movement, a roll correction rocket motor is installed on the aircraft ejection seat and selectively activated by the integral seat sequencer in the event that an undesired rotational movement is detected.

  • Patent number: 11827366
    Abstract: An ejection seat may comprise a seatback, a headrest located at an upper end of the seatback, and a pitot tube rotatably coupled to the headrest. A pitot restraint assembly may be operably coupled to the pitot tube. The pitot restraint assembly may be configured to translate between a restrained state and a released state. The pitot tube may rotate from a stowed position to a deployed position in response to the pitot restraint assembly translating to the released state.

  • Patent number: 11815343
    Abstract: An output device and/or an output device assembly configured to be initiated in response to different types of input. The disclosed output device may be generally configured so as to be able to receive different types of input in order to produce an output. For example, the two different types of input may be mechanical force and fluid pressure, and thus the disclosed output device may be able to receive either form of input and convert either input into the desired/predetermined output.

  • Patent number: 11713127
    Abstract: An article of manufacture may include a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for controlling deployment of aircraft escape and ejection seat subsystems. The instructions, in response to execution by a first sequencer, cause the first sequencer to perform operations which may comprise receiving a power input, determining a seat location and a seat identity of a first ejection seat in which the first sequencer is installed, determining an ejection mode, sending a first deploy command to an escape path clearance subsystem, determining a deployment sequence for a seat rocket catapult subsystem and a plurality of ejection seat subsystems of the first ejection seat based on the seat location, the seat identity, and the ejection mode, sending a second deploy command to the seat rocket catapult subsystem, and sending a series of third deploy commands to the plurality of ejection seat subsystems.
