![]() "Bob Kuykendall" wrote in message ups.com... Earlier, George Young wrote: Jim......You are misinformed about the Owl project. The BRS was never deployed by the pilot. He never said it was deployed by the pilot. The glider literally disintegrated with the pilot being ejected through the canopy still strapped into the seat pan. Somehow I don't think that's a good thing. the wreckage descended safely to the ground. All safety is relative. Every sense of security is at least partly false. Thanks, Bob K. I think what this is down to is that BRS that would work in the majority of imaginable situations would be too heavy, too complicated, and too expensive for wide acceptance. Which brings us back to the alternative, pilot egress aids. The DG NOAH system is but one possible approach. I think that just an inflatable seat cushion that would raise the pilot's butt to the level of the cockpit sides while pulling his legs from under the panel would work. Bill Daniels |
