True idiocy survives like
cockroaches. The breakaway escape system returned in this
proposal from the 1950s. Take a perfectly good fighter plane and
compromise the airframe with a breakaway section that adds to the
weight and adds all sorts of wonderful places for control cables and
wiring to go wrong, and all for a marginal improvement in safety over
an ejector seat. Of course, if you take a hit forward of the
wings you're ground scatter, but what do you expect for two bits?
