I mean if the air force is so uncomfortable with soldiers surviving while the $150M gadget bursts into flames, why do they even request for an ejection function in the aircrafts?
replies(2):
Article mention 1/10 critical failure rate (injuries or worse). I wonder how much of a push is made in this direction?
Given (implied in article) sentiment I wouldn’t be very surprised if stakeholders wouldn’t want ejection to be too safe.
