Juancio Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Hello, as the title reads, the ejection sequence on the F-14 seems bugged. Trying this using slow motion, I've noticed the following: 1- The seats won't launch from the correct cockpit position but from the middle of the airframe. 2- The current max seat launch distance on the F14 is 23 meters top, ejecting from a parked plane on the ground. Seems to be too short for a zero-zero capable seat as the chute doesn't deploy in time. Meanwhile, on the F-5E3 (last pic), which presumably uses the same Martin Baker Mk7 seat, the seat will launch you much farther, topping at 52 meters, giving the chute much more time to deploy properly. Screens attached. Thanks.
