Europa-List: Re: AW: Emergency parachutes, opinions?

[rampil <ira.rampil@gmail.com>]

I would think that a rescue parachute system would require considerably
more engineering than just installation.  The attach points quite probably
need the fuselage to be designed from the ground up to take the vertical
stress and distribute it appropriately.  Is the fire wall ceramic composite
really going to take 1450 lbs x 6 g in shear?  Has someone tried even a
static stress test?
