Abstract

813,692. Seats for aircraft. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Jan. 4, 1957 [Jan. 11, 1956], No. 968/56. Class 4. To permit the pilot of a very high-speed aircraft to assist the navigator, except during take-off and landing, the pilot's ejection seat 1 may be lowered on the ejection rails 7 from the normal position shown to a position level with that of the navigators seat 11, Fig. 2 (not shown), the aircraft then being controlled automatically. In the normal position the pilot has the usual control stick 3 for roll and pitch control and rudder control pedals 4. The stick 3 may be lowered with seat or, as shown, duplicated at 13 in the lower seat position, and the pedals 4 may be slid to the side to provide better headroom when the pilot is in the lower position. Instruments and other controls necessary to the pilot in both seat positions are mounted on the seat to either side thereof, Fig. 3 (not shown), and the instrument panel 2 may be tilted to be visible in both seat positions. Both seats are ejection seats and either may be ejected first, separate fuselage hatches 17, 18 being provided, that above the nagigator carrying a sloping windscreen 19. A glass panel 20 protects the pilot from direct blast. The seat 1 may be ejected from the upper or the lower position.
