Parachutes for Planes

What a GREAT IDEA!

I had the opportunity to meet Boris Popov, founder of the BRS company that created the Ballistic Recovery System.  I refueled his airplane and asked about the parachute in the back window.  Like a proud father, he told me exactly how the system works.  Much to the consternation of the Air Force VIPs that were standing there ready to greet him.  He was there to sell the system to the Air Force for their drones.

A father and daughter survived a crash by deploying their plane’s emergency parachute during an engine failure.
