What is the delay in seconds for front seat ejection when the ISS mode selector is set to BOTH?

When the ISS mode selector is set to BOTH, the delay in seconds for front seat ejection is specifically established to ensure that both seats can operate safely and effectively during an emergency. Setting the mode to BOTH means that the system is designed to coordinate the ejection of both the front seats simultaneously, which requires precise timing for safety reasons.

The value of 0.37 seconds is based on engineering tests that have determined this timing will minimize the risk of collision between the ejected seats and maintain safety for the pilots aboard. This specific delay allows for a calculated moment where both systems can fire without interference, ensuring an effective ejection process.

Other options feature delays that do not align with the established safety protocols for the simultaneous ejection system for front seats. These options, while they may represent potential alternative timing options, do not reflect the carefully monitored and tested standard for this particular configuration in the context of ejection seat operation.
