The F-103 supersonic escape capsule was a design for a supersonic ejection seat to be used in military aircraft. It was developed in the 1950s and 1960s, during a time when supersonic flight was becoming increasingly common. The F-103 capsule was designed to provide a quick and reliable escape option for pilots in the event of an emergency, such as a fire or structural failure. The pilot would then be deployed a parachute to make a safe landing. The F-103 capsule was never widely used and has since been retired from service, but the concept of supersonic escape capsules remains an important aspect of military aircraft design.

The throwaway line at the end about Dr. John Stapp is interesting. For reference he was the guy who strapped himself to rocket sleds to endure 20 plus Gs and is why you have seat belts in your car because of his career with NHTSA after the military.

Wow, thanks for posting! Just when I thought I’ve seen everything on the XF-103 something new pops up! 👍🙂 I know one thing; had this airplane gone into production that downward ejection seat would have been scrapped in favor of an upward system. The F-104 Starfighter originally had a downward ejection seat…all fine and dandy at high altitude but if you ejected at low altitude (takeoff for example) you’re going to turn yourself into a high speed farming implement!
