METHOD OF REDUCTION OF MINIMUM ALTITUDE OF DESCENT OF OBJECT FROM FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: descent of objects from flying vehicles. SUBSTANCE: first rocket and parachute are secured at ends of rope; parachute is connected with second rocket. Rockets are secured for separation at stepped application of load. Rope is movably connected with descent object by means of roller with clamp. The adjustable stops are fitted on rope on either side from roller and rope is equipped with controllable brake to pass rope towards end fitted with first rocket and descent object is brought out of flying vehicle, after which second rocket is launched; after separation of second rocket due to interaction of stop with clamp, first rocket is launched whose thrust is chosen to be more than or equal to force of aerodynamic drag of parachute and controllable brake is applied. After separation of first rocket, descent is effected by means of parachute only. EFFECT: reduction of permissible altitude for parachute descent and overloads during descent.
