The results were obtained for both simulated rocket-off and rocket-on conditions through a model angle-of-attack range from 0 to 30 deg and an angle-of-yaw range from 0 to 15 deg. High-pressure air was used to simulate the escape rocket jet plume at a sea-level altitude. Over the test range of this investigation, the results show that the ejection seat model was statically unstable but became longitudinally and directionally stable with the parachute using the three- and four-point bridle assemblies. Jet simulation and model yaw angle had little effect on the ejection seat longitudinal stability; however, jet simulation increased the parachute drag coefficient.
