0:37 Are you sure the left shoulder of mannequin hitting the broken canopy will be alright?

[@Tradiejoe284]

Exactly they are going to be falling out of the sky bleeding out

[@MaxwellAerialPhotography]

@@Tradiejoe284 you would have seen a torn sleeve flapping in the wind if the canopy had lacerated the flight suit.

[@delta40031]

Lacerations and broken bones?

[@georgedoolittle9015]

Surprised 😮the entire canopy isn't "ejected" absolutely so I imagine there is a reason for wanting to maintain pressurization despite ejection in some manner. It would be interesting to see some type of "glass" that can then reform after such an event in near real time. Could operate the aircraft still with some type "sapien" as such. Give new meaning to the term "bird 🐦 🕊️🐦 brain" anyways.

[@seanchang1202]

@@georgedoolittle9015 This kind of ejection design is with explosive cord on the canopy, sometime plus the canopy breakers on the top of the ejection seat. So, there is no need to “eject” the canopy.

[@aviationmw]

Tha would be a fun rollercoaster

[@bhogan843]

At 0:37, the acrylic canopy rudding against right shoulder of manikin.

[@chaostar88]

side-opening canopy design itself feels wrong... The debris from the destruction of the canopy will injure the pilot...

[@floopyc1428]

Looks like a solid system. Great job, Boeing

[@chaostar88]

0:28 The debris from the destruction of the canopy will injure the pilot... side-opening canopy design itself feels wrong... when the pilot escapes, his shoulders are bumped... is it okay right?

[@mcnugget3851]

A similar system is used on the T-45, AV-8B, and T-6, all have been proven effective countless times

[@pzhplz]

I think in real life situation it might be more like riding in sports car and placing your head by open window with hat still on. It will be flying outward not in.

[@jaredhuang2225]

Too late for Goose.

[@viperq]

lol

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

Looked to me there could be a problem with the second ejection being hit by the seat from the first ??? perhaps a 1 more second delay???

[@seanchang1202]

Kara Hultgreen ejected 0.4 second after her RIO but it was still too late.

[@dominiqueroudier9401]

​@@seanchang1202Yes but Tomcat was half inverted and few meters above océan, and unfortunately not at hundreds feet high

[@joehiden7475]

Looks like the rear dude caught the canopy with both legs on the way out. Were any leg bones broken and did it affect his trajectory out of the aircraft. Looks like you would explode the entire canopy or would that harm both pilots? Glad to hear both dummies survived. Just a little banged up after a rocket ride.

[@icare7151]

Great design game changer!

[@honshin23]

It's full of flaws to call it a game changer...

[@limitted7926]

T-50 GoGo😮

[@최재호-v4k]

canopy glasses strike helmet. is that alright??

[@viperq]

I heard there were issue with this system, I hope the bugs will be worked out.

[@redcat9436]

Way behind schedule.

[@meyenxhin6891]

Is it Collins's ACE5?

[@grahamthebaronhesketh.]

I fly the T7a in VR X-Plane 11. What is the max speed ejection is safe? The seat warning flashes at mach 1.

[@boeingpameesha9550]

Humane testing is tremendous.

[@dhaferalqarni9291]

You should put some of those in the 737 Max

[@viperq]

Safer than Russian junk.

[@redcat9436]

No thanks.

[@SHINR__]

Hollomaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

[@owencarey2954]

Nice, we don’t want any Goose incidents.

[@erandiish]

Farewell to Boeing.

[@정의-m6u]

The New trouble maker is Boeing!!!!!!

[@Kai..1]

So cool

[@Andrew-hr9tt]

Cool

[@TLOaks_]

Why can't you just let the video of the flight go instead of stopping and replaying it after every 2 seconds?

[@codefeenix]

no 1080p again...

[@dannywilliamson3340]

75 cameras, and we couldn't get a smooth tracking shot of the entire sled run??

[@747heavyboeing3]

Old technology. Ejecting through the canopy was done decades ago.

God bless America 🦅

[@jaydenle1000]

Day 5, bring back the 747 Boeing, please. And when you do make the 747-100 max, 747sp max, 747-200 max, 747-300 max, 747-400 max, and the 747-8 max. Please Boeing, I'm begging you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@pahtar7189]

I'm sure it will be a great plane, but 200 knots isn't a "high speed ejection".

[@MajorCaliber]

Don't forget the *while pulling 7 Gs!* factor!... that's a 10-mile-long track, looks like they used less than a mile's worth... future tests at higher speeds are probably coming! ;')

[@xanex708]

q locura

[@hussienalsafi1149]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@grimreaper1430]

Another delayed, a la f35, project! Boeing should stick to commercial liners and choppers. The horrific image of x32 will never escape my memory…

[@rileytat123]

355th like

[@geert574]

Ready for all the diversity pilots crashing planes 😂

[@NicholasBlair]

First :)

[@YouTubeGamerDude]

Third :)

[@anilnirukc]

Congratulations

[@howard1202]

pilot died.

[@jessielesbian6791]

What about 737 MAX? You guys ignored safety there!!!

[@Rover2430]

I'm sure the people featured in this video would have taken more interest in the 737, had it been equipped with ejection seats!

[@joesehy]

just declarer giving up, boeing doesn't seem like wanting to keep up doing the program

[@joesehy]

trying to cover up engineering disaster?
