This is a preliminary investigation to develop an airbag mounted on an ejection seat. The airbag is designed to deploy during an emergency ejection and may provide both prepositioning of the aircrewman and windblast protection for his upper torso. The airbag is tightly packed on a flexible steel strap whcih is mounted at the aircrewman's shoulder level. Quick disconnect fittings on either side permit the crewmen to enter the seat; they also disconnect the entire system upon seat/man separation. (Author)
