Jet Seat: The Fast Route Home

“I will leave now. There is nothing you can do to stop me. There are three remaining escape rigs, and five of you. I imagine you have much to discuss!”

 
Another neat idea from vintage Look and Learn, in this case from 5th June 1971.
Not much use for the military of the THS-verse, where nearly all combat aircraft are crewed by infomorphs. This is more likely the “must-have” for private jets or light aircraft. Weight penalties mean there are unlikely to be more than a handful on larger passenger aircraft. Think of the escape pod the President uses on Air Force One in “Escape from New York”
Seat gun: extra.
