Emergency Capsule Ejection System for Commercial Aircraft

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

CES relies on a carefully coordinated sequence modeled after real aerospace technologies. The capsule separates from the aircraft in a manner similar to rocket stage separation, ensuring a clean and balanced release. Once detached, its behavior mirrors the stabilization logic of military ejection systems, achieving aerodynamic balance before deploying multi-stage parachutes for controlled descent. These principles were analyzed through aerodynamic modeling, CG studies, and structural load predictions. The 3D-printed prototype incorporates the same logic through its wing geometry, fuselage design, and solenoid-based release system, enabling a scaled demonstration of how separation alignment, stability, and descent dynamics function in practice.
