![]() The plane has air conditioning, high quality leather seats, and cruise speeds that often approach and exceed 200 mph. The illustration at the top of this post is from an engineering-achievement award citation given to Boris Popov, founder of the BRS company that created the chutes, showing how the slider works in a Cirrus deployment. The Cirrus SR22 is an ultra modern, safe, comfortable, efficient, fast and reliable plane with loads of features that rival that of a sleek, European luxury sedan. Yes: I told the story of “the slider” in Free Flight. So the “riser” (a small donut-shaped devise riding on the parachute cords) provided a way to manage the energy entering the canopy of the parachute slowly so as to make it possible that at the highest speeds and energies, the canopy would act like a drag chute (mostly closed), then as speeds slowed from supersonic to subsonic, the riser on the parachute lines would lower toward the vehicle, gradually let more air into the canopy so as to allow the chute to fully inflate at safe speeds and let the payload down slowly. Cirrus Airframe Parachute System Flight Into Known Ice Protection 60/40 Flex. The basic idea is that if a parachute were to fully inflate at hyper- or supersonic speeds, the canopy would disappear in a puff of dust due to the extreme forces at those speeds.

Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) must be serviced and maintained by Cirrus Design trained and authorized parachute system. ![]() ![]() This manual contains information necessary to enable a trained mechanic to inspect, service, clean. The Cirrus SR22 aircraft captured from video shot by the U.S. This Cirrus Design SR22 Airplane Maintenance Manual was prepared by Cirrus Design Technical Publica-tions. One of the technical backstories that inspired our NASA folks at the time (circa 1995 or so) to support the BRS visionaries was our NASA and DoD experience in the use of “risers” on parachutes designed to slow down hypersonic “things” re-entering from suborbital or orbital trajectories. See the video as a pilot deploys a parachute for his plane to land safely in. Synopsis: (Prelim) Cirrus on parallel visual approach overshot the base turn. I am also proud of our friend and entrepreneur of the Cirrus industry, Alan Klapmeier, who stated early on, “the cost of a mistake in the air should not be death (sic),” or close to that sentiment. Forum Thread(s): CAPS Save 107 in SR22 N577DH near Warren County Memorial. I am proud of my former NASA colleagues for their support of these endeavors.
