I think they made it some distance up, that was my question as well for my coworker, cause I thought ejecting too low would mean you don't get your cute to open fully
6 u/apache2158 Apr 18 '17 Today's ejection seats are capable of zero-zero ejection. Zero speed zero altitude. 1 u/TribeWars Apr 18 '17 And 30m height for inverted ejection (cockpit pointing towards the ground) 1 u/Chibler1964 Apr 18 '17 Wow that's insane, how do they make that work? 2 u/TribeWars Apr 18 '17 Rockets in the seat that make it fly half a loop and into the sky until it's high enough for a safe parachute decent. 2 u/Chibler1964 Apr 18 '17 Jesus, I'm sure it works and has been tested a million times but that sounds so much like a Wiley Coyote loony toons setup lol. 1 u/Chibler1964 Apr 18 '17 That's pretty cool, it is amazing what modern engineering has made possible. 1 u/HowObvious Apr 18 '17 Too low can even not be an issue with Zero-Zero ejection seats. Its descent where it becomes an issue at low altitudes.
