A place to geek out about engineering, fabrication, and design. All disciplines are welcome. Ask questions, share knowledge, show off projects you're proud of, and share interesting things you find.

Rules:

  1. Be kind.
  2. Generally stay on topic.
  3. No homework questions.
  4. No asking for advice on potentially dangerous jobs. Hire a professional. We don't want to be responsible when your deck collapses.

Posting a second picture that shows and earlier stage in the process. Multiple charges ignite to remove the canopy from a CF-18 Hornet immediately before the pilot ejects. Photo from ejectionsite.com, which has more info on the incident.
