Abstract

A system and method of deploying a parachute system (10, 110), wherein the system functions with a timed delay or without a timed delay. The system can include a primary static line (12) and a release-away line (14), wherein the primary static line (12) is connected to a main chute (36) and also to a soft link (32). The soft link (32) can be cut by a cutter (16), thereby releasing the parachute system from an aircraft. Alternatively, the primary static line (12) may contain a cable (90), wherein the cable (90) features a loop assembly (94) that allows for release of the primary static line (12) from the aircraft. The system may also utilize a three ring assembly (96) or other mechanical actuation device. The system may include a drogue chute (41)as well as a main chute (36).
