The airplanes will compete very favorably with new aircraft, given a selling price target less than half that of a basic new Cessna 172. Later in the mid-1990s, BRS became involved with the Cirrus Design SR20 aircraft, the first aircraft ever certified with a parachute system as standard equipment. Cirrus has enjoyed a tremendous response to their sleek four seater and company officials give considerable credit for the warm reception to the presence of a parachute. Since the early 1980s BRS has delivered over 15,000 parachute systems to aircraft owners around the world. Actual documented uses of these systems are credited with saving the lives of 134 persons through the end of June, 2000.
