<p>A capsule and rocket extraction system (10) for providing an inflight escape system for the pilot of a damaged aircraft. The system comprises a capsule (14) that is separable from the main fuselage (16) of the aircraft (12) and a rocket (18) for extracting the pilot from the capsule. A control system (24) is carried by the capsule for sensing the capsule's speed, altitude and attitude, and for actuating tonly the rocket to extract the pilot directly from the capsule when the speed, altitude and attitude are at predetermined conditions, and for sequentially actuating a capsule separation device to separate the capsule from the main fuselage and then actuating the rocketto extract the pilot from the separated capsule when the speed, altitude and attitude are at different predetermined conditions.</p> |
