The BRS emergency canopy is designed to fly at the same height as the main canopy. The BRS can be attached to any trike with a triangulated gear leg system positioned front to rear across these structural members for adequate support the new Trike Softpack will also hug the longitudinal center of the trike. The mount system uses minimal hardware to keep the weight lower than other models. The canopy built by BRS for Cirrus weighs approximately 55 pounds, has 55-foot constructed diameter, and is certified for use up to 155 mph. BRS believes the parachute could be successful under some circumstances at heights of 300-500 feet above the ground.
All systems come fully complete with mounting hardware and components.
Exterior softpacks need annual repack. New rocket motors have a 12-year life until replacement is needed. Systems vary slightly depending on exact mounting hardware included. Round numbers relate to the cylindrical canister.
