The Dilbert Dunker is a device for training pilots on how to correctly escape a submerged plane. It was invented by Ensign Wilfred Kaneb, an aviation engineer at NAS Pensacola, in 1943–1944.[1][2] Originally named the "Underwater Cockpit Escape Device," the device was known since its earliest days as the "Dilbert Dunker" in reference to Dilbert Groundloop, a World War II-era cartoon character in Navy aviation training videos and posters who is incapable of doing things right.[1] The original Dilbert Dunker combined the forward fuselage of an SNJ Texan—including "all equipment in the cockpit that would hinder a pilot’s exit" (instrument panel, stick, and pedals)—with a 45 degree rail that sends the cockpit from a high stand at the deep end of the training pool, and at the end of the run under water it flips inverted to simulate a water ditching. The cockpit would hit the water at {{convert|25|mph|kph}} before inverting. The preflight student must detach the communication wire from the helmet, release the seat and shoulder harness, dive still deeper and swim away from the "aircraft" at a 45 degree angle to the surface for the purpose of assuming that the water around an actual situation has burning fuel on the water's surface.[1] The Dunker was still in use as of 1997,[2] and a helicopter-specific version remains in service {{as of|2013|lc=on}} even though the original version has fallen out of service.[1] In popular cultureThe device was featured in the 1982 film, An Officer and a Gentleman, starring Richard Gere and Debra Winger.[1][2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |title=The Birth of the "Dilbert Dunker" |url=https://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/history-up-close/objects-of-history/birth-dilbert-dunker/ |website=National Naval Aviation Museum |accessdate=23 February 2019 |language=en |date=6 September 2013}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite journal |last1=Kaneb |first1=Wilfred |title=Dilbert Memories |journal=Popular Science |date=August 1997 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MlZ28QQD-OIC&pg=PA9-IA1 |accessdate=23 February 2019 |publisher=Bonnier Corporation |language=en}} 1 : Flight training |
