Lockheed Martin will offer the Martin-Baker Mk18 ejection seat as a candidate for the F-21, in an effort to deliver a more competitive proposal for an Indian air force requirement for 114 fighters.
If confirmed, the IN18E seat would replace the Collins Aerospace ACES II from the original F-16 – Lockheed has rebranded the fighter as the ‘F-21’ for the Indian bid.
The IN18E seat features new technology to meet the latest aircrew physiological requirements. Specifically, it enables safe ejection for pilots wearing helmet-mounted displays.
