Parachute into a 550mph airstream?
Good luck with that in 1945 and no ejector seat.

While I'm with you on the sentiment
I'm pretty sure the date's irrelevant, unless gravity, air resistance and the coefficient of restitution of the "the ground" has changed since 1945?

Wouldn't the bread toast by air friction at that speed?

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 10 Jan 2013, 10:16, Reply)

it's not actually the friction that causes the build up of heat on a shuttle re-entering the atmosphere but the pressure build up

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 10 Jan 2013, 10:18, Reply)

As Pressure is proportional to Temperature
physics innit.

Either way it's still toasty

I hope the pilot turns the engine off before he bails out. The cockpit is about 2 inches in front of the intake.
At least he wouldn't need to worry about a parachute landing in Central London and the ensuing lynching.

An ejector seat isn't going to stop you having your head ripped off
by the 550 mph airstream.

True
but it might save your lower extremities from being left behind in the cockpit...

Seems it is possible...but you have to be lucky
SFW, despite the title.
