BRS Aerospace has developed a whole aircraft parachute\nrescue system on Van’s RV-10 homebuilt aircraft. The company is accepting\norders for the system, which is priced at $25,990, plus shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BRS ballistic powered parachute system can be\nretrofitted on flying aircraft or incorporated during the home building\nprocess. BRS Aerospace also offers the installation in two stages for builders\nwho want to incorporate parts of the installation during the build process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RV-10 parachute rescue system is similar to the\ncertified retrofit system available on Cessna 172 and 182 aircraft and the one\nthat is installed in all Cirrus piston powered aircraft, except that an\naircraft builder owners or mechanic is permitted to perform the installation,\nrather than an A&P. The installation should take 48 hours to complete or up\nto 78 hours if the aircraft is equipped with an air conditioning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BRS Aerospace estimates that more than 800 aircraft are\neligible for the company’s whole aircraft parachute rescue system. The system\nwill fit into the rear luggage compartment with the activation handle located\nin the center console. There are two rear and two aft attach points for the\nparachute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BRS has the only FAA\/EASA certified aircraft parachute\nsystems for Cessna 172\/182s available in the marketplace. The level of safety\nprovided by the ballistic recovery system for owners and operators of Cessna\n172s and 182s is comparable to a similar system on the world’s best-selling\nsingle-engine piston powered aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, an independent statistical analysis concluded that\nthe Ballistic Recovery System significantly reduced the odds of experiencing a\nfatal aircraft accident when deployed. BRS has documented a total of 399 lives\nsaved when the BRS system was deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BRS Aerospace is the world leader in whole aircraft\nparachute systems with more than 30,000 systems delivered to aviation segments\nincluding Light Sport Aircraft, experimental aircraft, ultralights, unmanned\nvehicles, military aircraft, and FAA\/EASA Type Certified general aviation,\nincluding the most popular piston-powered aircraft in production today. The\nsystem is designed to be a last resort for pilots and passengers when all other\nattempts to recover the airplane in case of emergency or pilot incapacitation\nhave failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BRS Aerospace’s current whole aircraft parachute system for\nfixed-wing aircraft design calls for a parachute ballistic launcher to be\ninstalled in the aircraft with either a pilot-initiated activator located in\nthe cockpit or an automated activation system. Upon activation, a ballistic\nrocket propels a parachute into the airstream to slow the airplane and float it\ndown into a survivable vertical landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BRS Aerospace was founded in 1980 in South St. Paul, Minn.\nIt has manufacturing facilities at the South St. Paul Municipal Airport and in\nPine Bluff, N.C. The system has been successfully deployed multiple times. For\nmore information go to www.brsaerospace.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
