The results of a design study and ground testing of an Emergency Life-Saving Instant Exit (ELSIE) System for military and commercial cargo, cargo-transport and passenger aircraft are described. The ELSIE System opens emergency exits in aircraft almost instantaneously and can be designed to open all exits at one time or on a selective basis. The design evolved from Explosive Technology's STEN(Stored Energy) Passenger Egress System originally developed in 1967 and continuously demonstrated since then. The contracted work represented the design and testing of an ELSIE System specifically for demonstration on a C-131B test-bed aircraft. This document is Volume I of a two-volume report. (Author)
