Pilot here, very common in Cirrus SR-22 aircraft, to have ballistic shoots. Aircraft cost roughly $500,000 new with decent avionics, they are designed to halt all forward velocity and airspeed once the thrust is gone the weight pulls the aircraft down. Eventually the shoot uses the horizontal drag to pull the aircraft under the shoot which is why it changes axis. This is becoming standard in composite aircraft where repair of wings is prohibitively expensive. These aircraft now being flown by people who have little experience and need the extra insurance. Just thought you would like to know.

daredevizz (12/04/2015) [-] seems like it makes more sense to save the super expensive aircraft instead of just the pilot.

mrwalkerfour (12/04/2015) [-] FUN FACT: ejecting actually can shorten your height by up to an inch due to the pressure

If you're using a BRS, its typically a last resort, as opposed to landing in a field, forest, or other area which might be dangerous, or have no control over the aircraft. That being said, it does offer the greatest survivability for both pilot and aircraft, depending on where the landing occurrs.

Whenever I see black and white footage with a crosshair, I assume somethings going to blow up.

totallytito (12/04/2015) [-] I want to make an anime where people use plane parachutes like 3D maneuvering gear in a dogfight.
Just imagine them killing the engines, pulling the parachute, swinging around to get near the enemy, and *SHA-SHEENG* a blade pops out from the tips of the wing, and slices off the other guy's wing.
I'd love to see a final battle where the guy just has his elevator and rudder intact, and both main wings missing. So he slingshots himself around and using the rudder to send the plane spinning like levi, and tail-whiping the enemy(obviously destroying his own tail) before ejecting.

MuahahaOfLore [OP](12/04/2015) [-] I would watch the hell out of that
We can make redeployable parachutes,
It needs an auto refolding system and a tether that could hold back the force of a speeding plane multiple times.
We license it for millions with only a patent and prototype.

AmusableBman (12/04/2015) [-] Interesting idea, but if we're going for realism (clearly we're not, but I like being a buzzkill), the pilot would be extremely vulnerable after pulling his maneuvering chute. The technique would not be useful outside of either a 1 on 1 situation, or one where you have someone in a more conventional plane ready to dive once the enemy pops their chute

totallytito (12/04/2015) [-] After getting back from the shower just now, I just figured out that they could also reverse the blades on the propellers to stop in mid air or hover with the nose down, or even do summersaults. Just roll the airlerons and you basically have a twirling super agile prop plane.
So here's what I put together in the shower;
Main characterclose range specialist) the man who as not shot down a single plane, yet claimed 100 lives
using nothing but his wing blades, parachutes, and "batman" style grappling hooks.
Uses a typical-looking four wing prop plane colored in blue.
Secondary characterbomb specialist) a rocket fanatic.. he uses a divebomber equipped with 64 mini bombs, and rows of 8 are tethered together by string and a magnetic bullet that can be fired at an enemy. The bombs are coiled so that they can wind up, making them seem like missiles persuing a target(mainly so I can animate an itano circus).
He often goes to war with his son since he refuses to allow anyone to take him along, so he has him mounted under his plane with a smaller, rocket-powered mini-plane that has 5 minute flight times, but two powerful low-ammo shotguns mounted on the nose.
Third character; (general weapons specialist), but has sacrificed most of his armor to dedicate it to the front of his plane. His plane has two propellers mounted on the wings instead of one, is equipped with a row of 32 AK 47's with modified high capacity mags taped onto the wing. As many as 5 can fall off during each flight, but compensates for it by ramming directly into other planes head-on, and surviving with minimal damage.

evenbiggerfagget ONLINE (12/04/2015) [-] Disclosure never flown a plane I'm just assuming
It seems like a good last choice option to me. Id rather glide the plane to a safe landing area/runway than lose all my speed/control and hope the chute doesn't snag/twist up on descend. it kinda looks like it'll drop you nose heavy from the gif so there goes the nose/prop.

beastybaconman (12/04/2015) [-] When they design the plane I'm sure they positioned the parachute over the center of gravity, but most planes are slightly nose heavy. And gliding to a field or road isn't always an option, but I'm sure there's still some control if the pilot noses down so there's some air flowing over the wings
