Costs and complexity of parachute system greatly reduced. Rigidtowline parachute system operates in three steps: (1) When aircraft begins to spin, parachute compartment opened up, and parachute unfolds; (2) Parachute deployed and spin terminated; and (3) Parachute released. Advantage of towline system allows use of much smaller parachute, reducing design loads on structural reinforcement. Also, complex pyrotechnic-deployment or jettison systems no longer necessary.
