A safety device for a reserve parachute has been created in Russia

The Tekhnodinamika holding has developed a special belay device that automatically opens the reserve parachute. This was reported by the press service of Rostec.

The new device is electronic, it analyzes the height at which the parachutist is, as well as the speed of his fall. If these indicators deviate from the norm, the device automatically opens the reserve parachute. The device provides four modes of application, depending on the level of training of the parachutist and the type of parachute: "Expert", "Profi", "Student" and "Tandem". Especially for the military, the device has a function of manual pressure setting at the landing point.

The holding explained that earlier such devices were not produced in Russia, but were purchased in Germany, Belgium and the Czech Republic. The device is multifunctional and can be used with both sport parachutes and military parachute systems.

An electronic parachute belay device will become an alternative to foreign systems (...) Previously, such devices were not produced in Russia, they had to be imported from abroad. I am sure that due to its versatility, the device will be in demand both among the military and sports parachutists both in Russia and abroad.

- said the CEO of Technodynamics Igor Nasenkov.

PPK-U is a good device, without electronics, it is guaranteed to work 1000 times without repair.

I understand that the necessary thing was created using the domestic electronic database. If so, then its value has doubled.
More good and necessary things created at domestic enterprises from domestic components will obviously only benefit us.

When it worked on a case, that's one thing. And so, after the jump, the braid of the ring is inspected - if there is a trace of the device, the fighter could go through one place with the cable of the ring.

I am in 1975. jumped with a parachute in DOSAAF. The spare wheel was equipped with a KAP-3 device. No electronics, pure mechanics. To determine a given altitude, he used a camera, such as the one in the barometer. It was adjusted at our altitude, if my memory serves me, 500m and at this altitude he pulled out the parachute opening cord on the reserve. They dropped us from 800m. He jumped out, examined his open main parachute, and immediately pulled the check cord from the device, otherwise, having triggered at the set height, he opened the spare wheel, which, when opened, was already fraught with problems.
Everyone had these devices: we, beginners, and athletes. By the way, they said that at international competitions it was possible to exchange a parachute from a foreigner for such a device.

But this is a very good question) I think it is more compact, more precisely, there are more settings, easier, but I don’t know whether it is reliable as a mechanical one.

Because PPK-U is not for a spare wheel. Is it clear? I'm just very short

Well, after 200 gr. I am chatty The dome of the main one is opened with a lock - that's how the PPKU is designed to work with this lock. And the spare wheel does not have a lock - you pull the ring, the locking pins of the cover fly out and the dome stupidly falls out. So a device such as PPKU, PPKU-M or AD-3 UD cannot be put on the spare wheel. There are some of my own, but I did not see them in my eyes, although I was a parachute stacker on an emergency, and then an instructor on airborne tactics after school. An unclaimed thing in the army.

=========
I don’t know (I haven’t come across electronic ones), but I suppose that the electronic one automatically estimates the descent speed: if it is within the normal range, it will not work, but if you fly too fast (“rock”), then it opens a spare one ...
"I think so!....."

I was told back in the USSR that two students made it for a competition somewhere in the 1930s. They just didn't have enough money to live on. Now on the net material on this topic can be found freely.

An article about another device - for a spare tire. And why was it not released here before? But what about the "orange" one in DOSAAF? Who was called from there, as a mantra was repeated: ring! dome! orange! That is, after opening the dome, the device was uncoupled on the spare tire with an orange sling - well, that is, the device was like that, however. True, the army never had them, even the first-timers jumped without such. Do you have blue skylights - Air Force or Airborne Forces?

[Romanenko]

I am absolutely in solidarity, and the author of the article should rummage through the history of domestic parachute construction before writing about a completely unique product.
In the flying clubs, the "Paratrooper's Prayer" was slightly longer than in the army - 521-522-523, ring, dome, "red" ground.
So that same redhead was the counter, which had to be pulled out in order to disconnect the PPK-U drive and the locking rod of the spare wheel.

I just can't imagine how the PPKU can be connected to the spare wheel? Well, okay, this was not the case in the army, you don't have to bother

[Romanenko]

The device was attached from the side of the rear wall of the spare wheel knapsack, the flexible hose, respectively, through the small side valve approached the lock and connected to the pull of the ring through the "red" one.

Understood thanks! That is, after laying the spare tire and the main one - one whole? And if, because of the ring, the spare wheel on the control line is required to be replaced, will it be necessary to change it along with the main one? Well, this is the officer's dome will have to be given - there are no others laid. In general, some kind of chukhnya. Glory be to Allah, we didn't have that.

[Romanenko]

Not quite one whole, the PPK-U on the dome was set to trigger by a stopwatch, and on the spare wheel - in height, usually set to 400 m. It turned out something in the form of double protection.
At least that's how they put it in 3 MGAK

Incidentally, I had very few fighters from Moscow (it takes a long time to tell why), but the "room" (this is, like, a batman) was once a Muscovite. And wow, I stopped the first taxi that got to the airport at Sevastopolskoye - it turned out to be the father of my fighter! I flew from vacation to unit in uniform. The taxi driver boasted - his son, like, is also a paratrooper. I am purely mechanical - where? And he calls our garrison. And the name, surname? He calls. Damn, this is my scout! Precisely, he says, he serves in intelligence. In general, we almost became friends. This fighter later lost my sling cutter "fish", I appointed him a punishment - after demobilization, bring my sister a box of canned beer in Moscow, I don't remember which one. And after all, I brought it in, you devil. Although, it seems, after demobilization, what kind of boss am I? In general, something I loose It was nice to talk

[Glory1974]

Previously, they jumped on a Soviet mechanical one, which was triggered by pressure .. It worked reliably and accurately.
I didn’t jump on an electronic device, it wasn’t then. Now it's scary, what if the batteries run out? At altitude, the temperature is lower in winter.

- said the general director of Technodinamika Igor Nasenkov
Does the director not know that the military and athletes jump without a device on a spare wheel? Awesome director!

[starpur]

Oh, my God .... That was to write to scrap, but I have to ... Most likely the CEO is referring to an electronic device such as "Cypress". The thing is old, but foreign .. It is put on the reserve parachute, it is triggered when the speed of descent exceeds the calculated one, the triggering height depends on the setting of the athlete's training level (see article). For the military, this device is suitable only for specialists who use wings, there is a spare wheel in one knapsack with the main one. On round domes (D6, D10) such things are not needed, it is the PPK-U that is placed there and it is put on STABILIZATION TIME - 3 seconds, if the fighter does not pull the ring, the device will open the main parachute. This is for the military. For amateurs, novice athletes who jump on "oaks", that is to say, round domes, PaPuKa is put on the spare wheel, more precisely - the device itself is in the pocket of the main knapsack, the device's traction is connected to the exhaust cable of the spare wheel with an orange safety line, in common parlance - "RED "During normal operation of the main dome, the redhead is slowly pulled out, the thrust is disconnected, the device is idling at 400 meters. If he loves it, the spare tire falls out, the dolt gives the stacker beer. Something like this.
