Business Wire
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. Established in 1981, Ballistic Recovery Systems
