Pyrotechnics and release of dangerous appendices for Aeronautics - by Simon

The release of dangerous appendices in case of an aircraft emergency landing.

How pyrotechnics contribute to the release of dangerous appendices?

Because of its extremely fast responsiveness feature, most of the military aircraft applications, where pyrotechnics is implemented, relate to emergency situations. Pyroalliance offers flight proven solutions which have been showing their efficiency for decades. It can be an external fuel tank with a risk of explosion. The pyrotechnic cutting cords system will then severe the structure holding the tank.

Let’s put emphasis on 2 pyrotechnic specifications adapted to that kind of situation.

Pyrotechnic equipment contain their own energy and do not require any external one.

This guarantees the total success of this critical mission whatever occurs in the aircraft.

Then, the mechanism design and the energetic material selection allow a total hermeticity.

You will not have any debris or flames close to the fuel tank. It means no risk of explosion during the operation.

Pilots and passengers will be safe.
