there are two or three jokes that can be made about this sentence.Viper16 said:
contains ejection information that can be later analyzed during crash investigations to understand the dynamics of the ejection as well as loads on the aircrew
Isn't that pretty low to get the chute opened in time to slow descent into the ground?Quote:
The pilot who ejected himself from the F-35 was discharged from the hospital on Monday afternoon, according to the official.
The pilot, whose name has not been released, had no major injuries and was in stable condition before being discharged, the official said. No civilian injuries have been reported from the incident.
The pilot ejected himself from the aircraft at altitude of approximately 1,000 feet "and one mile north of the Charleston International Airport," according to the official. The pilot then landed safely in a residential backyard.

Current ejection seats are rated zero/zero. In other words, they are supposed to function even when speed and/or altitude is zero

Also, if the craft was at 1,000 feet wouldn't it have continued at that altitude until the crash for another 60-80 miles?

Come on, you can't do that to us. You are like the expert we had here when the tin can went to the titanic.Viper16 said:
Well, the story is getting more bizarre than I could have imagined…sorry folks, I'm gonna leave it at that.
My apologies. No more speculation by me.

But seriously, thanks for the previous input, going to read about the supersonic ejection story.

Pilot is reported as being 48 yrs old. So, a very experienced pilot (though not necessarily in the F-35). And also, it's one of just a very small handful of guys that old still qualified to fly in the Marines. Glad he's ok!

That's got to be an O-5 or O-6, right?rebag00 said:

In all the news reports viewing the impact area I couldn't help but feel it looked staged. No signs of debris, just a charred area in the woods. Show some evidence of a burnt up engine or a piece of debris.
Until they show proof (which they wont) then the "crash area" is staged IMO.
Did they find the cause of that mishap?plain_o_llama said:Here is a fairly recent example of a zero/zero punch out in Ft Worth.CanyonAg77 said:

why wouldn't the pilot have known how much fuel was in the aircraft at the time of the ejection?
or the USMC knowing when they filled up the F-35 that morning with fuel- and then just calculate how many minutes it had been airborne before ejection to determine flight radius of fuel?
