The report covers the use of fixed-wing aircraft employing innovations to free-fall and circling-line techniques in the rescue of personnel and delivery and retrieval of equipment. The technique involves the deployment of a line from the aircraft while a controlled turn is maintained, causing the line to describe a diminishing spiral earthward. Successful launches of dummy weights up to 203 pounds suggest this technique can feasibly be employed in personnel rescue. Included in the testing were various aircraft, altitudes, speeds, lines, and line lengths. Line tensions were measured. Proposed future efforts toward man-rating the system include measurements of launch G forces and the assessment of system reliability. (Author)
