ABSTRACT:
Aircraft safety apparatus includes front and rear parachutes mounted at the front and rear portions of the aircraft for adding to the buoyancy thereof during emergency landings. Devices are provided for moving the parachutes into their operating positions. A plurality of auxiliary jet propulsion units containing fluid under pressure propel the aircraft to aid in its manueverability should the aircraft malfunction in flight, as well as during emergency landing procedures. At least some of the jet propulsion units are directed transversely to the body of the aircraft to direct fluid under pressure laterally to cause lateral reaction movement of the aircraft for steering purposes while the aircraft is descending under parachute assist.
