Holloman AFB High Speed Test Track (HHSTT) with F-16 ejections - Airailimages

More than ten miles long and placed with an unmatched precision for uniformity, the rocket sled test track at Holloman Air Force Base near White Sands in New Mexico has been the scene of thousands of high-speed sled runs since the 1950s. These films of ejections from an F-16 cockpit show one of the track's important uses in perfecting such systems. The Holloman sled track increased in length over the years, including the addition of rails removed from the old South Base sled track at Edwards Air Force Base in the 1970s. Sleds ride on slippers atop the rails. The slippers extend around the rails to prevent the sled from departing the track. Test simulation capabilities include the ability to introduce water droplets or other particles to replicate raindrops or dust encountered at high speeds that could harm a test subject in real-world conditions. A sled traveled faster than Mach 8 at Holloman in 2003. Thanks for watching the Airailimages Channel, and thanks especially for hitting the subscribe button.
