Seats that can protect a pilot through super sonic ejection are never installed on fighters and never have been. If you want to see what one looks like google up the seats the XB-70 used. The are big and bulky. While you are at it look up how one nearly killed the one pilot that got out when the second XB-70 crashed.
You don’t arrest engineers for designing exactly what they are told to design.
Thank you!
They bend space-time?
Just curious ... how old was he? Is there an age factor involved, as in, when you get older is it more difficult to work through that kind of maneuver (said by a guy who has trouble on a merry-go-round)?

880mph is 1290 feet per second. At a 50 degree down angle he's looking at about 6 seconds to impact. Pretty much doomed. God speed. Prayers to his family.

Third place soon, if he and Sec. Gates keep to their plans to deconstruct, demilitarize, and unilaterly disarm the US.
artificial gravity.
I’m surprised you didn’t say they should build the plane the way they build the blackboxes, so it would survive.
Duh.
Or the oscillation overthruster.
SO what your saying is folks in the Falcon don’t move, but the matter universe moves, thus no G-forces.
And the interociter. Can’t forget the interociter.

Actually I’m more inclined to believe the Frank Herbert version - that the physical universe is mutable and directly affected by the force of augmented human thought, thus enabling mutated humans to negate the physical space between objects, such as stars and planets.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion, the thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning, it is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Simple.
They had an infinite improbability drive....and a towel.

Really? I use mine to make hot cocoa.
Wow. So many obvious errors, yet so little time to correct them.
Ejecting at 700+ knots is pretty much fatal, and it has nothing whatever to do with the design of the ejection system.
After Seafair, the Blue Angels left Boeing field in Seattle Monday about noon.
I didn’t know it was going to happen, but I was sitting on my porch about 12:15, when all hell broke loose.
Directly over my house heading SSW, elv 700-900 feet!
Beautiful!
