Abstract

A parachute assembly comprising a primary parachute (8) and an auxiliary parachute (18) coupled to the primary parachute (8) via a bridle (22). A pre-loaded ejection spring (26) is provided in the parachute pack (2) between the primary parachute (8) and the auxiliary parachute (18). The ejection spring (26) ejects the auxiliary parachute from the pack (2) and then falls away from the auxiliary parachute. The ejection spring (26) thus projects the auxiliary parachute (18) sufficiently far from the pack (2) to prevent entanglement with a mis-deployed main parachute (50) and to deploy the primary parachute (8), but does not add to the weight of the auxiliary parachute (18).
