He-162A had a more proper cartridge-operated ejection system, not entirely unlike early Lockheed ones. Yes, and I believe it had a parachute recovery system for the engine as well - airframe was made of plywood but the engine was valuable... Having the air intake above and behind the pilot's head would have made bailing out emotional, though. Even with a bang-seat. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Types of EJECTION SEAT PROPULSION: 1/ AIR DUCTING 2/ REPULSOR 3/ GRAVITY SHADOW 4/ ROCKET MOTOR ACES III has all 4. So the question is what does that all do for the Pilot. And the Ejection Seat Sensors are what informs the Pilot/Crew of "PULL UP", "ROLL RIGHT" etc. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
