Abstract

This paper addresses issues that may arise when implementing the new proposed electromagnet head lock system. It also introduces new elements to protect the upper limbs during ejection, but also modeling and simulating the flight trajectory of the seat according to the flight speed of the aircraft, made with the help of MATLAB-Simulink software. Last but not least, a simulation of the air flow around the structure made in the Ansys Fluent program is exposed.
