The BRS website lists the Russia AC-4 and the Mechta as aircraft they
have mounted the BRS system into. I have been unable to track down
the specific aircraft involved.

An in built parachute with automatic deployment would
surely help. Tests have been carried out and shown
to work.



Manually deployed built-in parachutes have been tested and shown to
work in controlled conditions. I am not aware that anyone has
developed or demonstrated an automatic deployment parachute for
gliders.

Schleicher offered a ballistic chute option in the marketing brochures
for the ASW-28. As far as I know it was never an available option. I
heard the testing showed problems. Anyone know details.
