A detailed evaluation was conducted to determine the characteristics required in a parachute recovery system for an escape capsule ejected from an aircraft having a performance capability of Mach 4 and 100,000 feet altitude. Certain operational parameters such as maximum and minimum deployment velocity and altitude, final rate of descent, capsule weight, boost rocket thrust, etc., were given. Based on this evaluation, a general configuration of the system was established. An industry-wide survey of known sources of recovery system hardware components yielded data that were used in the design and evaluation of several basic types of systems. The most prominent of these were a gas-operated pyrotechnic system and an electric-pyrotechnic system. The gas-operated pyrotechnic system was selected ultimately as the optimum type available currently. A test program was established for qualification of the selected system. (Author)
