Abstract
An ejection seat may comprise a seatback, a headrest located at an upper end of the seatback, and a pitot tube rotatably coupled to the headrest. A pitot restraint assembly may be operably coupled to the pitot tube. The pitot restraint assembly may be configured to translate between a restrained state and a released state. The pitot tube may rotate from a stowed position to a deployed position in response to the pitot restraint assembly translating to the released state.
