| Work Detail |
The project of an individual system to rescue people from high-altitude facilities hit the top-five rating of the Dual Technologies sector of the Generation S accelerator. It is a pneumo-framed structure forcedly unfolded by a gas-filling ejection system integrated with pneumatic damping shock absorber. Upon a certain adaptation, the system can be used for rescue of helicopter pilots and even the helicopters in case of emergencies, the equipment’s designer told Mil.Press Today.
"The pneumatically transformed autonomous backpack rescue system (SPARS) is a new type of free parachute systems (FPS) not requiring a high-speed approach flow for opening of a screen canopy system. The facility is designed for emergency rescue of untrained people from the high-altitude objects, for example, in case of a fire in a skyscraper.
The experts developed the R&D project required for creation of a new aircraft, initiated a new GOST standard, and finally obtained a radically new SPARS parachute system that was patented in 18 countries.
Designers have passed the path from the concept creation to production of the pilot lot of the full-scale operational samples demonstrating technology. Although the system is oriented at the civil market, it has prospects for the military applications.
For example, PARACON system, another patented version of that system with conic aerodynamic screen and pneumatic landing damper can be used for airdrop delivery of personnel in complex urban conditions |
