Abstract:
1. An aerial delivery system for dispersing a filler material to a target location, the system comprising: a rupturable container for holding the filler material; a parachute disposed adjacent to the container; an elongate strap attached to the parachute and the rupturable container, the strap being sufficiently long to delay rupture of the rupturable container until the container is significantly below the aircraft, the strap having a means for selectively attaching the parachute to the rupturable container; an exterior support with the rupturable container disposed therewithin for supporting the rupturable container when storing the filler material in the rupturable container prior to dropping the system toward the target location, a bottom portion of the exterior support having opening sized and configured to receive the strap therethrough for routing the strap from an interior of the dosed bottom tote to an exterior of the exterior support; wherein the strap ruptures the rupturable container when the parachute catches airflow as the system is dropped from the aircraft.
