Ejection seat

[Thingymajigy]

Ok I think I perfected this so now I'm putting it up here. It's a compact ejection seat that looks like a first-class airline plushy recliner/seat.

Original name is getting old though, need a new one...

DOWNLOAD as subassembly.

Action groups/info: It's not set to anything. There is

–1 decoupler

–1 parachute

–2x2 rockets.

You may want to adjust the parachute's altitude setting. Depending on the plane, you may also want to stage the parachute after launching the seat off rather than simultaneously.

18 parts (I think)

Being a first-class luxury item, it's rather expensive (for a chair) at 43 000. To put that in perspective, round about the same as an Aeris 4a.

It's like something that should be a stock part! This is really cool that thingymajigy you made Thingymajigy!

Very cool! Love the video demonstration - the dive bomber is pretty neat too, any chance of you putting that up here on the Spacecraft Exchange?

EDIT: Oops, didn't realise you already had it up. Awesome stuff!
