BRS Parachute Now on the New Lancair Evolution!

  
    
  
  
    
      Four new aircraft unveiled at the EAA’s 
      AirVenture Fly-in include whole-airframe parachute systems from 
      Ballistic Recovery Systems. Lancair debuted their new turbine-powered 
      Evolution with a BRS parachute in front of their world-wide media at a 
      press conference today in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
    
    
      “It’s great news for 
      us and great news for Lancair pilots,” said 
      BRS Chairman Robert L. Nelson, who attended the press event. “More 
      and more people understand the value of having a BRS chute on board.”
    
    
      The new 4-seat, pressurized Lancair Evolution features a Pratt & Whitney 
      6A-135A engine, expected to deliver 385 mph in cruise on just 35 gallons 
      per hour of Jet A. In addition to the BRS parachute, other 
      state-of-the-art safety systems include AmSafe seatbelt airbags and 
      specially designed energy absorbing seats.
    
    
      “The BRS Parachute system in the Lancair 
      Evolution is unique in that it will be installed forward of the firewall,” 
      BRS VP of Sales, John Gilmore, said. Flight tests with the new airframe 
      will use the larger capacity Next Generation chute now in development.
    
    
      Lancair is only the latest in a growing number of manufacturers who are 
      taking advantage of the newest technology developed by Ballistic 
      Recovery Systems for faster, heavier aircraft.
