It's not a "chute." It's an ACME Bailout Lever and the floating is done by
supercharging the ions around the aircraft to ceate an "energy blanket." As
the energy dissipates slowly, the aircraft floats gently down to earth while
the Garmin 430 transmits on the LanceOnstar system (with wind correction of
course) to dispatch the minivan to your location.

Haven't you read the feature article in AOPA a couple months back??
