Defence Aircraft Cutting / fracturing

Canopy Severance or Fracturing system

Pyroalliance designs and manufactures pyrotechnic systems involved in different actuations for aerospace applications.

A typical application is triggering fracturing cords involved in the aircraft emergency canopy severance.

The overall dimensions as well as final outputs can be adjusted depending on the application. Different actuators are possibly triggered at various moments of the pilot safety sequence.

More generally, Pyroalliance delivers complete pyrotechnic chains adapted to its customers’ needs. They are designed and manufactured under Pyroalliance design authority.
