Stablizing Parachute System SP-36
Materials: Stablizing Parachute System SP-36
The ejection seat tries to tumble (pitch), roll and yaw after ejection due to various forces acting on the seat. If this motion is not controlled it results in total disorientation of the pilot and in extreme cases it may even result in fatalities. Hence, all the ejection seats have to be stabilized after ejection. The seat stabilizing parachute SP-36 Series II is an integral part of ejection seat K-36 DM. The revolving parachute along with telescopic stabilizing rod makes steady the ejection seat with the pilot along the entire path of the motion until the life saving parachute system begins to actuate.
