Abstract

An arm restraint assembly configured to pierce a canopy in response to expulsion of an ejection seat from a cockpit may comprise a primary arm configured to pivot relative to the ejection seat. A canopy piercer may be coupled to the primary arm. The primary arm may be configured to rotate to a fully-deployed position while located within the cockpit. An apex of the canopy piercer may be oriented toward the canopy, when the primary arm is in the fully-deployed position.
