ABSTRACT:
A parachute system removably mounted on an aircraft. The system comprises a container removably and releasably attached to an aircraft fuselage. The container has a lid which is biased open and a locking mechanism which maintains the lid closed until a parachute is to be deployed. A drogue chute ejecting mechanism ejects a drogue chute when the lid is opened, and the drogue chute deploys a main chute stored in the container and which is connected to the container. A coupling attaches the container to the aircraft fuselage and is disconnectable so that the chute system can be jettisoned from the aircraft.
