METHOD OF EMERGENCY ESCAPE BY MAN OF CABIN OF FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: aviation. SUBSTANCE: pilot fastens himself to plane by means rope 6 practically non-stretching under load and crawls out on fuselage plane behind cabin which upper part is open in direction of tail part. With air stream pilot is moved to fin with dosed speed safe for him which is provided by braking of drum on which rope is taken up. With presence of pilot on tail part paid-out rope liberates contacts which stop fuel feed and consequently ejection of gases from nozzle. Thanks to it pilot will not be burnt when he is in area of nozzle. Immediately after pilot gets behind tail part he releases attachment to rope which connects him to plane with the aid of rip pin. If pilot is unconscious then rope is broken near him by means of insert-explosive charge destroyed with explosion. Explosion occurs with switching on of electric circuit with the help of switch released when preset value of rope pay-out is achieved when pickup is behind tail part of plane. If explosive charge does not operate pilot releases from plane after the whole length of rope is paid out from drum. All this time plane flies under automatic control. If pilot is unable to get out of cabin he ensures with the aid of automatic control flight of plane in the form of acrobatic maneuver, for instance, vertical climb forming force pushing pilot from cabin and thus assisting pilot to leave it. EFFECT: increased safety of emergency escape by pilot of flying vehicle. 3 dwg
