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 Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Paul, Most of the BRS systems use this. There are several vid's on
the net showing their deployment.

Btw, I'm typing this on my Milling Machine PC, [while it drill's over
600 holes in the bed]. It's great as i can surf the net, read emails
etc.. while milling job's. It's connected via wireless to my home
network.. helps to kill the 'bordom' factor while watching the machine..

Anyway, the mill is finally up and running. I've already got a few job's to do..
interestingly enough, one of them, is the mold for a canopy on a R/C Heli.
