The objective of the Aircrew Gliding Escape System (AGES) Program is to develop a ram-air-inflated, gliding parachute wing for use in Navy aircrew escape systems. This report describes an in-flight ejection test conducted at the Naval Weapons Center on 23 October 1984 using the AGES parachute canopy in a Stencel SIIIS-3-ER ejection seat. The test was initiated at 500 knots equivalent airspeed (KEAS) at 5000 feet AGL (7500 feet MSL) from the rear seat of the Center's YF-4 aircraft. The riser loads on the dummy were well within acceptable limits, and no damage occurred to the parachute or the seat system (which was recovered by a separate parachute). (U) This report contains complete documentation of the test setup for the seat and parachute. In addition, copies of the test plan, abort criteria, and checklists are included. Keywords: Ram-Air Parachute, Ejection Seat, Escape Systems.
