Mk14 Ejection Seat

The Mk14 ejection seat, more commonly known as SJU17A and NACES (Navy Aircrew Common Ejection Seat), is currently in service in the F/A-18 and T-45 Goshawk. There are approximately 2,200 Mk14 ejection seats in service today. The seat has saved the lives of 101 aircrew to date.

Martin-Baker was awarded the NACES contract by the US Navy in May 1985. The intent of the programme was to develop a high-performance, high-technology ejection seat which would integrate with several aircraft types, thus providing a significant commonality benefit for the customer.

The first production standard Mk14 flew in an F-14D Tomcat in February 1990. Deliveries continue at a regular rate each month to support overseas sales of the F-18 and the new variant of Super Hornet.

The Mk14 is currently operated by the following countries: Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Switzerland and USA.
