Method and system for emergency escape from an aircraft
   
   

A method and system for ejection operation in an aircraft are provided. The system allows selection of one of two modes of ejection: ejecting through the canopy; and jettisoning the canopy before ejection. The system includes an ejection mode selector for selecting one of a canopy shattering ejection mode and a canopy jettison ejection mode, canopy shattering components, canopy jettison components, and an ejection actuator. The ejection actuator activates one of the canopy shattering components or the canopy jettison components based on the selected ejection mode.
