mvsgas Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Nice looking Leg restraint chords ... very K36 like :) Cord? Where? Using a cord would be counter productive and hurt the pilot. This is a T-38 seat. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123212777 Edited March 21, 2012 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

BlueRidgeDx Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Maybe I'm misreading your post, but the new T-38 seat does use ankle restraint "garters". Or is that what you were saying? I'm on an iPhone so it looks like a pic might not be showing up...I just see a little question mark. "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col.

This is a T-38 seat. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123212777 See Below: The Chords are tacked up around the leg wells. In the case of the K36 seat the chords are attached to padded anklets. As the seat moves up the rails, the chords tighten closing the anklets around the pilots legs. I presume a similar padded arrangement is used on the F22 seat, drawn in by the similar chord arrangement. On another forum an egress instructor talks about them: http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-9872-start-0.html Edited March 21, 2012 by IvanK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on an iPhone so it looks like a pic might not be showing up...I just see a little question mark. My point was that I thought the pilots needed some padding to prevent injury, the T-38 new seat you can see the inch thick straps, same thing I have seen on the F/A-18 seat. I have seen the cord in K-36 but, they have padding also. Not seeing any padding on the F-22 ACES, I did not think t would be practical, IvanK said it works, so I guess I was wrong.

IvanK Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It would be really interesting to see an image of the F22 seat from the forward face to see how the whole thing is implemented. I agree with you MSVGAS I would have thought that bit that actually comes in contact with the legs would need to be wider than a single chord. The Standard Martin Baker leg restraint gaiter is about 3cm wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Does the cockpit have transition glass (in pictures it varies between clear/black/gold)? Or do they use a different tint on certain jets? Or is it all to do with the camera angle? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyroflash Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) It uses gold tinted multi-layer polycarbonate. You can compare this most easily to a pair of impact resistant sunglasses, which also use polycarbonate, albeit with a darker tint. As to the speed of the chips, it isn't because they need to be reliable. It is because the procurement cycle takes so long on military jets. Take a look at some of the modern civilian cockpits like the G5000 and Avidyne R9, and you will be surprised at how modern they are compared to their military counterparts. Take the space shuttle. It's computers are nearly all 80's hardware. They COULD have put newer hardware in at any point along the line, but to do so they would have to go through a large amount of tests to ensure that nothing would go wrong as a result of the new hardware. And of course, the old hardware does perform the task at hand more than well enough, so as they saying goes, "If it ain't F***ing broke, don't fix it".

Moa Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The Shuttle software is the only large piece of software known to have zero defects. This is because they tested it for a decade to work out all the kinks. They're not gonna change anything about it now. The programming language used on older USAF aircraft is called 'JOVIAL': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JOVIAL The B1 (using C), F-35 (C++) and F-22 (ADA) are the first USAF aircraft to use regular languages (C/C++/ADA). That's why they had weird teething problems. For example: the 'operational' F-22 software falling over the first time they crossed the International Date line, was nearly a disaster; but is fixed now: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/f22-squadron-shot-down-by-the-international-date-line-03087/ and many of the delays you hear about in the F-35 program are apparently caused by difficulties getting the software right - large software projects are hard!. More info on the F-22 software here: http://www.f-22raptor.com/af_avionics.php Thanks for the pictures of the Raptor cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomba Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 This is the best F-22 picture I have: Only thing now is to figure out where it was taken. (i.e the island estate behind it) A bit late to reply, but that island estate is Fort Munro in Virginia. It was decommissioned recently. I don't test for bugs, but when I do I do it in production.
