BRS to Develop Whole Aircraft Recovery Parachute for Diamond DA50 Super Star Piston Aircraft

  
    
  
  
    
      Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:BRSI)(BRSparachutes.com), 
      a manufacturer and worldwide supplier of whole-airplane parachute 
      recovery systems for general and recreational aircraft along with 
      Diamond Aircraft manufacturer of full line of general aviation aircraft, 
      announced today that they are working together on the development of a 
      parachute system for the 5 seat DA50 Super Star. If successful, this 
      implementation would represent parachute integration into the largest 
      piston single engine certified aircraft. The system is expected to be 
      available in the 2008 timeframe.
    
    
      “This arrangement, upon completion, will 
      represent another step that will make our vision of parachutes on more 
      airplanes a reality. Our development work in other general aviation 
      programs and our recent R&D efforts helped us to accommodate demands 
      from this next generation piston aircraft” 
      said Larry E. Williams BRS President”.
    
    
      “The DA50 Super Star will be certified to fly 
      without the parachute. A successful program will result in a parachute 
      that will be offered as an option and we are pleased to select BRS as 
      our development partner in the DA50 program,” 
      said Christian Dries, CEO of Diamond Aircraft.
    
    
      In Ballistic Recovery System’s 27-year 
      history, the company has sold over 25,000 onboard emergency parachute 
      systems to aircraft owners around the world, including over 3,300 
      systems on certified aircraft. BRS units to date have been documented in 
      saving 201 lives. Diamond has previously announced a similar arrangement 
      for development of a system for the D-JET.
