"Tempest Fighter Program Advances with Ejection Seat and Power Tech Tests"
TL;DR Summary
Trials of the crew escape system for the British-led Tempest future stealth fighter are underway, with a Martin-Baker ejection seat being tested using a rocket sled. The ejection seat will be used in a Flying Technology Demonstrator, which will inform the Tempest. The demonstrator will use the same Martin-Baker Mk 16A ejection seat used in the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet. Work on the crew escape system is now complete. The Tempest is set to feature an all-new engine design. The Global Combat Air Program (GCAP) collaboration between the United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan is now central to the success of the program.
