Seat tested McDonnell Douglas has successfully conducted a zero- speed, zero-altitude test of its Minipac II lightweight ejection seat, intended for trainers, helicopters, and other low/ medium-speed aircraft. In the zero-zero test at Hurri cane Mesa, Utah, the seat with an instrumented dummy aboard was propelled from a stationary sled to parachute deployment at 160ft altitude. Two more tests are required to qualify the company-funded seat, one at 150kt and one at 350kt. The seat can be used at speeds from zero to 380kt, and altitudes from ground level to 50,000ft, says MDC. Minipac II is based on the company's Aces II ejection seat in the F-15, F-16, A-10, and B-l, but at 901b is about half the weight and half the price, says MDC.
