The paper describes the design, development, and qualification approach for the RSRA (Rotor Systems Research Aircraft) system explosive and pyrotechnic components. The approach was based on previous experience and included: (1) the application of good design practice and quality control, (2) a thorough examination of component interfaces through demonstration testing of functional margins, (3) the carrying out of thorough real-world sequential environmental testing, and (4) the operation of environmentally exposed units in subsystem-level tests at temperature, force, and energy limits. Owing largely to this approach, the RSRA became the first helicopter system to contain a fully qualified and operational in-flight escape system.
