A method and means for producing divergence of the trajectories of plural ejection seats as such seats are ejected from an aircraft so that collisions will be avoided. As soon as each seat is ejected upwardly from the aircraft, a first force is applied to the seat at a point offset from the yaw axis of the seat to cause the seat to rotate about its yaw axis at a certain yaw rate. After such rotation at the yaw rate has occurred for a preselected interval of time, an opposed force is applied to terminate the seat rotation and the yaw rate so that the seat is reoriented from its initial trajectory path, but the yaw rate is substantially zero. Thus, when the occupant separates from the ejection seat, he will not be traveling with any yaw rate.
