The Ejection Envelope NACES SJU-17 Thanks to Jeff Nichols NAWCAD 4.6.2.1
WASAW - Envelope Parameters Weight Airspeed/Velocity Attitude Sink Rate Wind
Phases of Ejection • Catapult • Aerodynamic Loading • Recovery NACES (SJU-17)
Velocity and Sink Rate Mode II 280 Mode I Mode III • Orderly increase in altitude requirement up to 4000 fpm • Aerodynamic Loading • Sequencer • Mode I (<300) • Mode II (300 - 500) • Mode III (>500) • Recovery 40 10,000 4,000
Velocity and Dive Angle 2000 • Lawn darts need more altitude 250 90
Velocity and Bank Angle Mode II 220 Mode I Mode III • Sequencer, again • Parachute opening, again 25 180 60
Wind Speed • Factor in 0/0 • Recovery Phase • Forward velocity aids parachute inflation • Tailwind can slow down opening
Summary “altitude is your friend” Ideal conditions: 136-213# occupant 2000’ agl Under 300 kts Straight and level
