Smart Recovery System debuts

By Janice Wood · March 9, 2009 ·

Aviation Safety Resources has filed a patent for a sensor-based Smart Recovery System.

Applying sensor systems currently available in commercial and military aircraft to general aviation aircraft, the Smart Recovery System evaluates an emergency situation, identifies the devices and systems available on the aircraft, and then automatically deploys the appropriate device and/or system in the safest manner unless overridden by the pilot.

“There is nothing available in the general aviation market today that does anything more sophisticated than instructing a pilot to pull a handle,” said ASR President Dario Manfredi. “Today’s commercial airlines are the safest mode of transportation but general aviation remains a serious safety concern. Our Smart Recovery System will save lives by bringing a whole new level of automation, sophistication and systems integration to general aviation aircraft.”

Devices and systems deployed by the Smart Recovery System include fire suppression agents, fire extinguisher systems, flight control systems, rocket members, airbags and ballistic parachute recovery systems, such as the company’s patented TriChute Landing System.
