DRDO Successfully Tests High-Speed Rocket-Sled Fighter Escape System

This is India’s domestically developed aircraft’s seat-ejection system.

It was successfully tested at extremely high speed using a rocket-sled setup simulating real flight conditions.

The trial confirmed flawless canopy separation, accurate ejection sequencing, and complete aircrew recovery performance.

A dual-sled configuration recreated the aircraft’s forebody and ensured realistic aerodynamic forces during testing.

An instrumented test dummy measured crucial loads and accelerations to verify maximum pilot safety standards.
