Design for Spin/Stall Recovery Parachute System of Turbo-prop Airplane

Abstract

This paper deals with Spin/Stall Recovery Parachute System from design to ground taxiing stage which would be deployed on the high speed taxi of turbo-prop airplane. In detail design phase, design parameters-riser length, parachute type, size, porosity, parachute canopy filling time, and deployment method-were considered based on the analytical disciplines such as aerodynamics, structures, and stability & control. Before the installation of Spin/Stall Recovery System of turbo-prop airplane, all control functions of this system were validated by the SBTB(System Breakout Test Box) in the laboratory. SBTB was used to confirm if it can detect faults, and simulate the firing of pyrotechnic devices that control the deployment and jettison of it. Once confirmed normal operation, deployment of parachute on the high speed taxiing were performed.
