Flexible linear-shaped charge provides explosive energy to create opening and to jettison panel. Container around explosive charge protects pilot from effects of explosion. Exterior steel strip receives most of force of explosion to jettison severed panel. System allows pilot to bail out from left side of airplane by creating opening where no door exists. Egress system is simple and highly responsive, requiring minimal modifications to airplane.
