Ejection Seat Lap Belts
Cobham's lap belts, specifically designed for ejection seat
applications, are constructed in two connectable
sub-assemblies. The sub-assemblies, one each for left and
right hand, include the Cobham's webbing adjusters which are
integral to the buckle, providing tension adjustment and securing
loads up to 5,000lbs. All buckles have a low profile,
eliminating the potential of snagging during an ejection.
Ballistic Powered Inertia Reel
Cobham Life Support's Ballistic Powered Inertia Reel (BPIR) for
ejection seats improves performance over legacy systems. The
modernized Cobham BPIR repositions the pilot's back firmly against
the seat to properly position the body during an ejection.
Key benefits of the Ballistic Powered Inertia Reel
include:
- Ideally suited for expanded aircrew population
- Reduces the risk of spinal injury during an ejection
sequence
- Designed to fit all ACES II and ACES V ejection seats
