It's faster since there's no delay to wait for an intact jettisoned canopy to get safely clear. You can see it in Harriers, for example.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296988746956477216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-26189640558409208632020-08-24T04:17:14.958-07:002020-08-24T04:17:14.958-07:00Good thing then it's not a B-47.Good thing then it's not a B-47.bogsidebunnyhttps://doomsayersite.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-75677453870656845522020-08-23T23:51:42.358-07:002020-08-23T23:51:42.358-07:00The Martin Baker Backbreaker...The Martin Baker Backbreaker...Stephan Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844243041552272458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-63081332976973118772020-08-23T23:04:10.591-07:002020-08-23T23:04:10.591-07:00Blowing the canopy first is usually an option, but...Blowing the canopy first is usually an option, but if it doesn't leave first, some seats will cut through the plexi. Some of them have a pre-cut section outlined in the roof to facilitate this, IIRC. Sort of like a pop-top can has a defined weak line to make it easy to open. Not the optimum exit route, however.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-47165602898778303412020-08-23T20:36:46.133-07:002020-08-23T20:36:46.133-07:00Meet your maker in a Martin Baker...Meet your maker in a Martin Baker...LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-52462270862045361532020-08-23T19:24:05.969-07:002020-08-23T19:24:05.969-07:00I didn't know you went thru the canopy, I gues...I didn't know you went thru the canopy, I guess that's why you get a helmet! :-)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-91124594529937941962020-08-23T18:56:42.730-07:002020-08-23T18:56:42.730-07:00Looks like he forgot to jettison the canopy first....Looks like he forgot to jettison the canopy first.<br /><br />Plus they're still on the ground.
