If an explosive signal is introduced in the opposite direction, it is blocked. One-way explosive transfers installed within SMDC line runs provide unrestricted explosive transfer in one direction only. The manifolds also provide structural support for mounting the SMDC lines to the aircraft structure. Explosive Manifolds Explosive manifolds installed within SMDC line runs incorporate an internal explosive crossover that permits either SMDC to fire both output SMDC lines. Inert connectors installed throughout SMDC line runs permit interconnection of the SMDC lines. A topic is created automatically whenever someone posts a comment in the F-16 News section.
#Jettison canopy generator
The canopy gas generator provides high-pressure gas to the actuator, to jettison the canopy. The canopy gas generator is attached to the lower end of the canopy hydraulic actuator. As the canopy is jettisoned, the lanyard actuates linkage to remove the sear and fire the initiator, sending an explosive signal through a 1.1-second time delay to the safe-and-arm module.
#Jettison canopy series
It is actuated by a lanyard attached to the canopy and the initiator sear linkage. Canopy still present in F1 view after jettison - fixed Sunday, JAA The mysterious death of Rizwanur Rehman, a 29-year old graph It was awarded to Triple Canopy, Inc An improved version of the Type 1 Fighter Hayabusa Mark I series, the Mark II series was fitted with a Nakajima Ha-115 engine, shorter and stronger wings equipped with. This initiator performs a backup function for the safe-and-arm seat ejection module. The backup initiator is on the cockpit turtle deck. They provide the initial explosive signal for canopy jettison and seat ejection. These initiators are actuated by pulling the face curtain or secondary firing control handle. One system initiator is located behind each ejection seat.

System and Backup Initiators The system has two system initiators and one backup initiator. Each initiator is manually actuated by pulling its canopy external jettison initiator handle. The canopy may be jettisoned by pulling the canopy emergency jettison initiator handle on either the pilot's or NFO's right instrument panel.Ĭanopy external jettison initiators enable the ground crew to jettison the canopy during ground emergency conditions. Two canopy jettison initiators enable the air-crewman to jettison the canopy during emergency conditions, without initiating seat ejection.
