@awittyusernamepleaselaugh7481
@awittyusernamepleaselaugh7481 6 лет назад
Because they'd want to know exactly what the Tu-95 was capable of to better counter it.
@benitollan
@benitollan 6 лет назад
Kevin Smith they also had B-52s. Having a Tu-95 would help them know their actual range, top speeds, all-aspect radar signature in different frequencies, better guess their maintenance costs, etc, etc.
@KevinSmith-qi5yn
@KevinSmith-qi5yn 6 лет назад
I meant it as a joke since the company who created it also re-engineered the B-29. The Bear shares some striking similarities with the B-29 with some modernization although the last plane built off the B-29 was the Tu-85 or something like that.

This former ejection seat test engineer approves. One of my engineering professors worked for Coleman engineering when they built the test track at Hurricane Mesa in Utah, then later worked at Stanley on the B-58 capsule and Yankee extraction system. His stories inspired me to seek a position with McDonnell-Douglas Escape Systems, ending up there a few years after graduating. Worked with development of Minipac seat and ACES II advanced sequencer. Good times. Sled tests at Hurricane and Holloman AFB, flight tests at China Lake.

@Real engineering, you've totally ignored Soviet ejection seat development history. Which was quite fascinating. Included such facts: 1. They used dogs instead of bears (on early vertical rail testing) 2. There was a case when pyrotechnical screwed up which resulted 5x or something more acceleration then it was planned. Which proofed that human can handle high but short term increased G forces 3. Early testing was conducted on ww2 era 2-tails aircraft (Pe-2 if I'm not mistaken) to minimize risk of injury (contrary to 1 tail plains) 4. At the beginning pilots were distrustful with ejection seat so tour though military aerodromes was conceived with 2-seat aircraft ejecting professional paratroopers on each stop while asking volunteers from each regiment 5. At least one design of ejection seat included feature like automatic attachment of canopy to chair during ejection to protect pilot from supersonic flight (making effective capsule for a pilot)

When you mentioned the company Martin Baker, it reminded me that the two rear seats in the Millennium Falcon cockpit set as well as the one next to the navicomputer in the main hold set were made from Martin Baker Mk IV ejection seats used on the RAF Sea Venom plane. You can even see the rails on their backs where they'd be attached to an airplane to shoot them up and out of the cockpit.

Nice video but I really didn't like the clickbaity title and thumbnail on this one... It feels doesn't feel like your style and makes the video feel cheap. (I actually almost skipped the video because at first I didn't realize it was yours and it looked cheap...)

Also interesting to note is the ejection capsule utilised on the XB-70, which shielded the occupants in a clamshell compartment allowing for supersonic ejection. Also the early ejection seats in the F-104, which fires downwards as opposed to upwards in order to clear the high tailplane and vertical stabiliser. Safe to say that was an awful idea for any sort of low altitude ejection, but as you mentioned the technology to successfully propel the pilot away from the aircraft at high speed really didn’t exist until fairly recently.

Does a bear $#!& in the woods? That one did about 40,000 feet above the woods...

It would appear that some of the designers of these incredible ejection seats realized that a Bear can't really tell them much about it after success, so they opted for using a Lunatic.

Not too long ago, the USAF was seriously looking at Russian Ejection Seats that they have in the MiG-29. They have a very good system. At one of the Airshows, a MiG pilot had to eject and he was not very high and he got out of it uninjured. That impressed the USAF.

Bad video. Don't clickbait to get views. Make the video title about what you are actually talking about. Not about a single sentence you say in passing with a two second long clip of a bear.

@Maxim Fyn Mate the entire bear related content was like 30 seconds of an 11 minute video, I understand that extra details and some context are important, but if I try to advertise a book with the image of a psychopath killer and then spend almost the entire book talking about the statistical data of dysfuntional families with almost no relation to how I advertised the book, then I'm advertising my book as something it isn't It's sleazy, and it's also pretty damn lazy, they could have done more research, or found an anecdote or posed a speculation to bump the bear content to at least a minute and a half, but no, they sold us with an image, to tell us something that is already obvious, that rocket propelled escape chairs are complex and dangerous.

All of these bear jokes are great and all but that bear looks miserable and hurt, the jadedness of so many people today has me in awe.

Just catching a bear, drugging it up and then ejecting it in high-altitude? That's unbearable to hear this. (Pun intended.)

This reminds me of that totally unrelated time we snuck into Russian and stole one of their bears, and thought it'd be funny to use as a test pilot for a new ejection seat. Good times :)
