mLine 1:
Line 1: − An '''ejection seat''' is a cockpit seat in an aircraft which can be fired clear of the aircraft with a small rocket charge if necessary, carrying the pilot. At a certain height, the seat will fall away from the pilot and a parachute will deploy. They are used only in military aircraft and test planes. Ejection seats first came into use in the [[Korean War]], in aircraft like the [[F-86 Sabre]], as the high speeds of jets made it impossible to simply jump with a [[parachute]].+ − − [[Category: Aviation]] − [[Category: Technology]]
