Pioneering research, leading to the development of an ejector seat for the Junkers Ju 88, is reviewed. Fundamentals in establishing human acceleration tolerances are discussed. The experimental simulation of shock induced acceleration is described, and human resistance is quantified. Exploitation and follow-up of accident related data are summarized, including investigations of the accelerations experienced with an aircraft out of control, e.g., shot down. The action of airspeed pressure on a person is considered, and experience gained with research aircraft is recounted. Measuring methods for technical and physiological parameters are indicated. The beginning of ejector seat development in England, Sweden, and the U.S. (1944-45) is also briefly reviewed in comparison.
