Abstract
An ejection seat (1), supported on ejection gun guide rails (2) and moveable between an upright position to a reclining position thus affords the pilot greater protection from the effects of high 'g' forces. Movement of the seat (1) is effected by hydraulic acutators (3), (4), guided by an arcuate track (15). The invention has the further advantage of allowing ejection from an upright or a reclining position or any intermediate transitional position.
