the seat can actually can stabilize itself after ejecting but looking at the low altitude the ejection would be fatal due to the bank degree

QUOTE(bereev @ Jan 17 2017, 08:09 AM) Depends, modern Russian ejector seats have self-correcting system powered by rockets and gyroscope. If gyroscope detects seat is not upright it will fire small rockets to correct the seat upright before deploying parachute. It such low altitude probably will have no time to correct anyway. |

QUOTE Leonardo to develop Mangusta replacement for Italy http://www.janes.com/article/66970/leonard...ement-for-italyGareth Jennings, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly 16 January 2017 ![]() The Italian Army is looking to replace its Mangusta helicopters that have been in service since 1990 with a new type to be developed by Leonardo under the NEES programme. Source: Italian Army Leonardo has been contracted to develop a replacement for the A129 Mangusta armed reconnaissance and attack helicopter for the Italian armed forces, the company announced on 13 January. The multiyear contract is for the study, development, industrialisation, production, and testing of a prototype and three initial production platforms under the 'New Exploration and Escort Helicopter' (NEES) programme for the Italian Army (Esercito Italiano: EI). According to Leonardo, the EI requires 48 helicopters to replace its current fleet of A129 Mangustas that are due to be retired by 2025. No further details on the new helicopter or its development programme were disclosed by the company in its announcement, except to say that it will produce "an even more technologically advanced product, with greater performance and lower operating costs, to meet arising needs in evolving scenarios for the next 30 years". The EI received its original 66 A129s (designated EA-1 in national service) between 1990 and 2004, with 49 currently in service. The tandem twin-seat helicopter has gone through a number of upgrades during its time with the army, and has been deployed operationally in theatres such as Afghanistan. |

Two eject in US Navy training jet crash
![]() QUOTE A U.S. Navy T-45C Goshawk training jet aircraft crashed on Tuesday, off the east runway of the Naval Air Station Meridian. The station reported that the incident occurred during a training flight and that both student and instructor managed to eject before crashing. After the first responders arrived at the scene the pilots were sent to hospital for evaluations, the U.S. Navy said. The T-45 Goshawk is a tandem-seat, carrier capable, jet trainer whose mission is to train Navy and Marine Corps pilots. The aircraft is used for intermediate and advanced portions of the Navy/Marine Corps pilot training program for jet carrier aviation and tactical strike missions. Two pilots were earlier injured at Naval Station Meridian when another T-45 crashed in September 2016. [sos] |
