Thank you for your answers
I really appreciate that !
So most of the systems are mechanical. So I will try to summarize:
There is a button or a handle on the control panel. There is a cable (electrical or mechanical ) which links the panel and the housing for the chute pack/ door opening mechanism. After a given command from the pilot, the door of the housing is being opened ( via spring or pneumatic actuator ). After that the small chute is triggered in the air flow ( HOW
) and it produces drag, which pulls the big chute and all its components out. And it opens and reduces the speed of the a/c. Then the big chute is being jettisoned ( again - how ?).
What is the connection between the chute and the a/c ? The chute must be attached to a hard point of the construction, right ? But how is it then released ?
And also. I found a site. It shows these mechanisms.
It is written, that they are used to lock the container of the chute. Is it kind the same with the one of F-16 ? These are used for the Su-27 family.
