Abstract

An escape device such as an ejection seat system (10) has a propulsion system (42) that accelerates and changes the angular orientation of the device. The system (10) includes sensors (54) for determining certain parameters associated with device altitude, attitude, and sink rate. A microprocessor (36), operatively connected to both the sensors (54) and the propulsion system (42), operates the propulsion system so that the device will move at desired acceleration levels and turn to a desired attitude.
