>>5386372I read that the F-35A Lightning II had an issue with Martin Baker, the contractor for ejector seats, and female pilots. 50% of female pilots weigh <136 pounds / 62kg, they are so waifish and dainty. The catapult phase of ejection, combined with the heavy HUD display helmet of the F-35, could cause fatal neck stress for lighter pilots. This is also exacerbated by the opening shock (parachute deployment phase) whiplash. Whilst the female weight issue was discovered in 2015 and apparently subsequently addressed, the UK manufacturer Martin Baker continues to have problems with these ejector seats, including the cartridge actuated explosive devices that led to the grounding of 300 F-35s this year.
