Martin-Baker is proud to have completed the 3,000th US14A Ejection Seat for the NACES programme. NACES has saved the lives of 150 aircrew to date from 8 operators in 7 different countries.
US14A is the designation given to the Navy Aircrew Common Ejection Seat (NACES) which aimed to provide a common platform for aircrew to learn. It is fitted to the T-45 Goshawk trainer and the F-18 Hornet and Super Hornet fighters. Early versions of the US14A were also fitted to the F-14D Tomcat.
Over 200 tests have been conducted, including 72 sled tests. The most recent testing included high-altitude ejections from our Meteor aircraft in 2020.
