AFLCMC/WLD intends to issue a sole source contract for T-38C canopy spatial separation analysis to the contractor (Martin-Baker) which will provide a study to determine the feasibility of incorporating a heavier, more bird-strike resistant front canopy into the T-38 aircraft. Preliminary investigation has determined that the current ejection system timing may not allow sufficient time to clear the canopy, eject the pilot, and deploy the drogue parachute without interference between either the ejection seat and the canopy, or the drogue parachute and the canopy. This effort will include analysis and/or testing to determine the spatial separation between the various components of the escape system throughout the escape sequence and the maximum front canopy mass that could be used with the current escape system thrusters and timing to provide adequate clearance between the various escape system components during the worst case (zero-zero) ejection event.
