Manual parachute release

Eaton's manual parachute releases are designed to release easily under high parachute riser loads and is in use by ejection seat pilots all over the globe. From the first generation parachute releases, to the most current low load second generation parachute canopy release, Eaton has a full spectrum of capability depending on your unique requirements. The second generation parachute release enables the downed aircrews to separate themselves from their parachute canopy under even the most severe land and water drag conditions, protecting them from potentially lethal injuries. During daily operation the manual canopy release features a tactile and audible "snapin" secure male connection, and a two motion singlehanded release mechanism. A safety latch roll bar mechanism prevents inadvertent opening under inertial loading, snagging or windblast.
