Abstract

In this work, a new look of the pilot's rescue system has been formed. A method of rescuing a pilot after ejecting over enemy territory is presented. The main components of the pilot's rescue system are highlighted, their advantages and disadvantages are identified, and the technical requirements for them are formulated. In addition, the solution to this problem of crew rescue after ejection is realized by compiling the structure of the mechanism of interaction of the constituent elements of the developed system. The paper describes in detail the methodology of the pilot's rescue process after an emergency departure of the aircraft, which consists of the following.
After ejecting and testing the standard rocket booster of the first stage, the ejection seat with the pilot is at an altitude and speed sufficient to activate the rescue parachute. However, given the high probability of hitting the pilot with small arms, after testing the accelerator of the first stage of emergency removal from a collapsing and burning aircraft, the main rocket booster of the ejection seat of the second stage is activated, bringing the pilot with the ejection seat to an altitude of more than a thousand meters. After that, the pilot is separated from the seat and a controlled gliding parachute with an individual satchel device such as a propeller group is activated, which together make it possible to bring the pilot –controlled gliding parachute system to a safe area not occupied by the enemy. At the same time, the standard "flat circle cut" system remains as the main rescue parachute system (reserve).
The program and methodology, if implemented in practice, can significantly increase the likelihood of a pilot's rescue during an ejection over enemy-occupied territory. The development and implementation of the proposed method involves a large amount of work and associated costs, but if successfully implemented, it will save the lives of many pilots.

Keywords:
