Is there such a thing as a rocket opening parachute?
In other words a rocket attached to a metal static line that pulls a
parachute
out of a bag and makes it open almost instantaneously?
I am thinking of safe ways of testing a tilt rotor aircraft.

Paul... isn't that precisely what the BRS (ballistic recovery system) is all
about... a ballistic deployment, a slider ring to accommodate fast vs. slow
speed filling of the chute. ???? am I missing something here???

I am not sure. I don't know how it works.
I would not necessarily like to save the airplane. Just the pilot from
and open cockpit.
