Flight Termination System (FTS) for Aircraft
Pyroalliance designs and manufactures pyrotechnic systems involved in different kinds of actuations for aerospace applications.
A typical application is the flight termination function requested for several kinds of aircraft, from test planes to stratospheric balloons.

The overall dimensions as well as the nature of the structures to be severed to terminate the flight can be very heterogeneous and our solution is then customized depending on the requirements.
We rely on a large portfolio of severance solutions to elaborate the appropriate design and optimize the performance while limiting weight and size of the embarked equipment.
More generally, Pyroalliance delivers complete pyrotechnic chains adapted to its customers’ needs. They are designed and manufactured under Pyroalliance design authority.
Flight Termination System for Aircraft
Benefits of pyrotechnics
- Functioning time of such equipment is extremely short, thus perfectly fitted for the responsiveness expected from a Flight Termination function
- Redundancy and physical separation of two distinct initiation chains usually contribute to the extreme reliability of function
- Appropriate pyrotechnic components are selected to meet the environment constraints – especially temperatures – associated to the mission profile of the considered aircraft
- Such system is energetically autonomous. Its integration and check are very easy and no maintenance is required
Aeronautics applications :
- Test planes
- Stratospheric balloons
