ABSTRACT:
A wing contained emergency descent system incorporates a plurality of bays positioned within the wing structure of an aircraft. Each bay opens upwardly and outwardly of the wing through the upper surface thereof and supports a tray positioned within the bay. The tray contains one or more parachute packs and is positioned to be elevatable through the actuation of a pair of doors. The doors form a part of the upper skin of the aircraft wing and each includes an operating arm depending therefrom. The operating arm engages the tray such that the arm elevates the tray, and parachute pack thereon, into the air stream flowing over the wing when the panel or doors are opened.
