The T181 Aircraft Parachute Recovery System (APRS) is an emergency parachute system for fixed-wing aircraft, utilizing a mechanical activation rocket to provide critical safety during emergencies. When an aircraft suffers severe malfunctions or loss of control, the system slows descent, stabilizes flight, and enables a controlled, safe landing.
Equipped with ballistic ejection deployment and an electrically initiated solid-fuel small rocket for autonomous flight control activation, it relies primarily on manual activation—ensuring reliable recovery in critical scenarios. By reducing descent speed and enabling dependable recovery, it minimizes risks of aircraft damage and crew injury, with designs tailored to various fixed-wing platforms.
Product Description
In an emergency, pilots activate a towing rocket (manually or automatically), which extracts the canopy. Rapid inflation controls the aircraft’s descent speed, guiding it to a steady ground landing—this is the core operation of the emergency recovery system.
