Samenvatting
From the first parachutes developed in 1797 to modern gyro-stabilized, vectorable rocket capsules capable of deployment at Mach 3 and at the edge of space, this chronology covers the complete history of aircraft escape systems used in the United States. Detailed descriptions of the technologies behind each ejection systems development and use are accompanied by photographs, diagrams, and fascinating firsthand accounts from pilots and crewmembers who have used escape systems. Jim Tuttle spent 33 years as an aerospace engineer with North American Aviation and Rockwell, working on the design of legendary aircraft like the F-86 Sabre, Apollo Command Module, and XB-70 Valkyrie.
