The article presents a mathematical model of ejection process, which can be used to analyse the movement of the seat-pilot system in flight phase until ejecting the headrest and may also be utilised to assess the movement of the seat after the pilot has separated when the seat has been propelled out of the aircraft. By constructing the model, the information was used regarding the K-36DM ejection seat, which was supplemented with data on other ejection seats. The demonstrated mathematical model provides a basis to produce a simulation model useful in estimating the efficiency of ejection applying the K-36DM seat.
