MK10 Ejection Seat

The Mk.10 seat is designed in four main units, catapult, main beam structure, seat bucket and parachute assembly. This greatly simplifies and speeds maintenance or cockpit access. The seat bucket can be rapidly removed to provide full access to the equipment in the cockpit without disarming or removing the seat main structure or aircraft canopy. In a similar way the seat can be rapidly installed or removed by assembly or disassembly of the main units in the aircraft.

MK8 Ejection Seat

Following development of the highly successful Mk10 rocket-assisted ejection seat, a simplified, lightweight variant of this seat, designated the Mk8, was introduced for primary trainer aircraft, such as the Embraer Tucano. The most significant design simplification was the removal of the rocket motor to save weight. In most other respects, the Mk8 seat retains the excellent design features and functionality of the Mk10 seat.
