This is cool. If I had a small private plane, I'd consider this system a necessity.

My cousin just bought one of these composite planes.
I'm waiting for my invitation to take a ride.

Altitude, airspeed, or intellegence. Pick any two and live to crash another day.

I suppose if you find it to be cost effective and wanted to spend the money it's a good idea. I would feel safer with one. However I thought most planes crash on takeoff or landing.

The big airliners are to have this as well. They will separate into sections, each with its own chute.

I'd consider this system a necessity Why not ask instead, why this plane needs a chute?
And then ask which AC has the highest hull loss ratio in the entire Country?
