Has anyone bought a commercial ejection seat for use on their homebuilt
aircraft? Is this even feasible? Thanks, Well you could buy one of those emergency ballistic chutes that they make to recover the WHOLE plane under a parachute....a BRS i think they are called? they only cost a few thousand dollars and weigh 10s of pounds.... It would take some research/engineering to the following but it seems possible... make it so when the chute is ejected/deployed by the rocket the force of the inflated chute drag is enough to rip out a safety cage/reinforced cabin area and the rest of plane plumets to the ground... those chute deploy on the order of a second or so... take care Blll
