BRSI Ballistic Recovery Systems Inc (CE)

Four new aircraft unveiled at the EAA�s AirVenture Fly-in include whole-airframe parachute systems from Ballistic Recovery Systems. Lancair debuted their new turbine-powered Evolution with a BRS parachute in front of their world-wide media at a press conference today in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. �It�s great news for us and great news for Lancair pilots,� said BRS Chairman Robert L. Nelson, who attended the press event. �More and more people understand the value of having a BRS chute on board.� The new 4-seat, pressurized Lancair Evolution features a Pratt & Whitney 6A-135A engine, expected to deliver 385 mph in cruise on just 35 gallons per hour of Jet A. In addition to the BRS parachute, other state-of-the-art safety systems include AmSafe seatbelt airbags and specially designed energy absorbing seats. �The BRS Parachute system in the Lancair Evolution is unique in that it will be installed forward of the firewall,� BRS VP of Sales, John Gilmore, said. Flight tests with the new airframe will use the larger capacity Next Generation chute now in development. Lancair is only the latest in a growing number of manufacturers who are taking advantage of the newest technology developed by Ballistic Recovery Systems for faster, heavier aircraft.
