Our most precise 3D construction and 3D printing of the highly detailed Martin Baker M.B. Mk.2E seat represents the pinnacle of current possibilities in model accessories. With the utmost care and attention to every detail, this seat has been designed and printed to most faithfully reproduce the actual ejection seat used in modern military aircraft.
Martin-Baker Mk.2E Ejection Seat, History and Characteristics:
The Martin-Baker Mk.2 series represented a massive leap in pilot safety during the early 1950s. While the Mk.1 required the pilot to manually trigger the parachute and unbuckle after ejection, the Mk.2 introduced automation.
The Mk.2E variant was specifically tailored for the Gloster Meteor F.8 and its derivatives. Its defining feature was the automatic deployment system, which used a barostatic time-release mechanism to separate the pilot from the seat and deploy the parachute, significantly increasing the chances of survival at lower altitudes. It utilized a telescopic 80-foot-per-second ejection gun to clear the Meteor's "T-tail" stabilizer.
