9.3.2 SPIN RESISTANT AIRFRAME
The A5 incorporates numerous features to help control the
dynamics of stall and improve spin resistance, including blended
wing shapes, stall strips, and wing cuffs. Stall characteristics
depend on a number of factors, the most important being rate of
stall onset, which can affect the dynamics of stall progression along
the span. The A5 remains controllable throughout these various stall
progressions up to 30° bank angles, even when fully stalled. Lateral
stick and rudder remain effective, although response is more
sluggish than during normal flight.
9.3.3 ICON PARACHUTE SYSTEM
The ICON Parachute System (IPS), made by Ballistic Recovery
Systems, Inc. (BRS), is a deployable aircraft parachute system that
can be used to safely recover the A5 in an emergency situation
when other means are not feasible. The parachute is housed in a
bay on top of the right wing where it joins the fuselage and is
attached to the main wing spar and the aft wing spar by a Kevlar
®
harness. The parachute is deployed by an actuation T-handle
located in the cockpit overhead console. The parachute will deploy
within 1.7 seconds of actuation and fully inflate within seven
seconds. The A5 parachute system is coupled to a landing gear
interconnect that automatically extends the landing gear to help
cushion the touchdown. Descent rate of the aircraft after parachute
deployment is approximately 1200 ft/min (20 ft/sec).
