Seems obvious this would be a good idea. -- Guinnog 17:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
-They are totaly diffrrent things. this is for a plane. 68.57.1.83 17:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
What do you mean by that? The Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System, which the merge suggestion is for, is most certainly for aircraft (and is a subset of BRS aircraft parachutes as a whole).
I don't have a strong opinion either way on a merge; CAPS is a notable feature of Cirrus aircraft. Georgewilliamherbert 00:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I did a couple of edits on the number of lives saved. BRS is a small company and Cirrus is their largest account. Cirrus ownes about 15% of the company which is traded on the OTC market. johng_pilot
BRS is fine except being over the sea. Does anyone know whether some sort of ignition-inflated raft is developed for planes? I guess there would be a market for travellers to european islands -- 217.86.19.227 11:10, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) deserves its own page linked from both Cirrus Design and BRS. BRS is a supplier to Cirrus Design who did the engineering work to integrate it into the SR series of airplanes. It is not "just a BRS installation" but rather a complicated integrated engineering effort. CAPS is notable from other BRS products because it was certified with the airplane, it has its own operating guidelines published by Cirrus Design, and CAPS has been the subject of an airworthiness directive for the SR series of airplanes. Also, CAPS has a history associated with Cirrus Design airplanes and accidents. SDBeach 01:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
As part of my research into the history of CAPS deployments, I attended a presentation by Paul Johnston, Chief Engineer, Cirrus Aircraft. He described in great detail how the design was adapted from the BRS GARD system available by STC on the Cessna 150. There were significant design integration challenges that Cirrus innovated without significant participation by BRS. Notably, the parachute system was moved behind the baggage compartment bulkhead, the riser design was changed from a 3-point on the top of the Cessna wing to two attachment points on the firewall and the rear bulkhead, the risers were hidden under channels in the fuselage that ripped out when deployed, the rear-riser was folded to achieve a nose-low aerodynamic drag effect, pyrotechnic line cutters were added to release the folded rear-riser. I will endeavor to find a public source for these design details.
This convinces me that CAPS belongs associated with Cirrus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sr22beach ( talk • contribs) 20:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
A ballistic parachute is used in the very funny comedy movie The Gods Must Be Crazy II from 1988. They land the same ultralight aircraft twice with the parachute. And they do it in quite a funny way! I don't know if "ballistic parachute" is the proper term but the red button for it in the the aircraft is marked so and that term is also used by one of the actors. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that such parachute landings are shown in that movie.
The landings shown in the movie are probably a bit unrealistic since they use the same parachute twice, without reloading it with a new rocket. Unless they brought a spare rocket with them into the Kalahari Desert... Or perhaps there are systems that don't use a rocket? And the parachute in the movie looks slightly too small to land two persons and an ultralight aircraft softly.

Not sure how to reflect this. An SR22 crashed on 07/05/2010 near the Essex County, NJ airport (see [1]). News report on the incident noted:
Has this been an issue in other crashes?-- Klantry01 ( talk) 15:37, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Do we really need a list of deployments? MilborneOne ( talk) 10:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
